Inspiring Conversations with MJ Harrell

Today we’d like to introduce you to MJ Harrell.

Hi MJ, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself. 
My name is MJ Harrell, and I am a filmmaker with a unique vision. Growing up in Gates North Carolina, I’ve always enjoyed photography and had a true appreciation for nature. Growing up, my vision has been limited in my right eye, and as a child, this has allowed me to pay attention to details a lot more than those with perfect vision. I started out as a solo hip-hop artist and eventually became a lead vocalist of a prominent band in the Hampton Roads area. We did a lot of hip-hop and rock music, and we even had performances when we brought the two genres together. I’ve been on MTV BET, and I’ve done numerous shows as a music artist. Deep down, I didn’t share the same passion for music as I did for filmmaking, watching my vision come to life as a movie or short film. Upon my arrival to Michigan, I worked numerous jobs that were simply in place to make a living to support myself and my family, but now I’ve taken the step to where I’m focusing on watching my dream come to life. I also worked on major sets such as the TV show Empire Batman Vs Superman to name a few. Through my company GORJUSE Entertainment, we now provide talent management to help push someone else’s dreams as far as they can go. I have now completed three full-feature independent films and gearing up for the fourth and beyond. I look to continue making movies and also, in the future, introduce the world to my inventions to help aid with future space exploration. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The struggles with indie films is getting a good budget to make the film. 

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Through my brand we push for a positive message even within a film or client I manage that you would least expect.
