Welcome to the Joymakers Project

At the intersection of digital media, entrepreneurship, education, and agency, the Joymakers Project emerges from the understanding that with privilege comes great responsibility. We are a film project with a powerful mission: to shed light on the remarkable lives of Southern Serbian Romi trumpeters, their talents, and their passion for music, while also addressing the hardships they endure.

.

Our vision goes beyond the screen; we want to teach the next generation of Romi children both the art of playing and reading music, as well as valuable entrepreneurial skills. This initiative is our commitment to nurturing and supporting their incredible creativity.

​

Joymakers is proud to be affiliated with the United Services Agency, a 501C3 organization that shares our mission of assisting individuals and organizations that strive to make a positive impact on people's lives and the world around us. Together, we aim to promote businesses that benefit society and foster a brighter future.
