RAMAJ
ARTIST • ENTREPRENEUR • CREATIVE EXECUTIVE
Dorin Williams is a creative director, producer, writer, and editor whose work lives at the intersection of culture, media, and innovation. With more than 20 years of experience across film, television, and digital platforms, he creates stories and experiences that reflect the culture shaping them while pushing visual storytelling forward. Known professionally as @StarrNamedMarrFilms, Dorin brings a cinematic eye to everything from film and branded content to live experiences and social media. He understands how to develop an idea for the screen, shape it for an audience, and carry it across platforms without losing what makes it original. As founder of StarrNamedMarrFilms, ACreativeSpace Studio, and AJNCE (A Joint Network of Creatives Engaged), Dorin builds spaces and platforms where artists, brands, and communities can create together. His work with 3rdivision and The Plug Media reflects the same approach: bring people and ideas together, experiment with what media can be, and create work that moves culture forward. Dorin’s vision is grounded in the belief that the most compelling stories come from the people living them. Whether directing a production, developing a brand, or creating a new format, he makes room for those voices to be seen and heard.

At AJNCE, Justin works with business owners to understand their goals and identify AI solutions that deliver measurable results. He helps organizations automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, improve customer experiences, and implement technology that supports long term success.
