Jonny's hobby is languages. He has studied several, both formally and informally--including Swahili, in preparation for a trip to Tanzania, where he taught English in a magnet school in the highlands. He wrote and directed a couple of short films in Spanish while living in Tijuana. Jonny has family in Japan, and plans to shoot a short and a feature (both comedies) in Japan in 2021. As part of his long-range career goals, he hopes one day to shoot feature films in France and China.
