- Director

Joseph Johnston made his first movie at the age of 11, an industrial
espionage thriller that continues to play to excited crowds in his
mother's living room every Christmas. In 1996 he was nominated for the
Irene Ryan Acting Award from the Kennedy Center for The Performing
Arts/American College Theatre Festival. He earned a Bachelor's Degree
with Departmental Honors in Theatre from Alma College in 1997. After
spending a decade forming an independent record label as an outlet for
his avant-blues recordings, experimenting with lost and found sound and
starting a family, he founded Uranium City Films in 2007. Both as a
one-man-band and with fruitful collaborations with American Firelight,
Ring of Fire Entertainment and the newly formed Johnston Bros.
Pictures, he continues his pursuit of a new wave in motion picture
storytelling. He is an active contributor to and volunteers as a
moderator for IndieTalk.com, the web's preeminent independent
filmmaking forum.
