Johnny White is an award-winning filmmaker living in the small mountain town of Evergreen, CO. His work has been featured on John Krasinski’s quarantine web series “Some Good News” as the introduction to the Prom episode (which also starred Rainn Wilson, Billie Eilish, and the Jonas Brothers), and he has won multiple awards, including 2nd place in the International Youth Silent Film Festival Global Awards and the winner of Aardman’s “Golden Morph” competition in the “Under 16s” category two consecutive years for his films “DJ Grandmorph” and “Frankenmorph.” Throughout the years, his films have also earned praise from Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander, when he said, “This is pretty impressive. Will this be the new live show at Legoland?” about his LEGO recreation of the Frogger scene, which was additionally featured in a ScreenRant article, Shark Tank host Kevin O’Leary, who tweeted, "Now this is some quality TV,” and “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” whose Twitter account said regarding his stop motion, "This is amazing!" Johnny was also mentored by the late screenwriter/UCLA professor Lew Hunter, who helped him with his writing in elementary school, and Tom DeSanto, who judged IYSFF and said that he thought his film “A Life Worth Living” was “a documentary on [his] life.” Johnny wants to pursue a professional filmmaking career.
