About Johno
Hello,
I’m Johno!
I’m a filmmaker and photographer with a constant desire to be vibrant, dynamic, and unapologetically bold in everything I do. Through many creative mediums, I aim to tell stories that captivate and inspire. My desire for storytelling stemmed from a deep love of cinema at a young age, which led me to study Film & Video at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Since graduating, I’ve been fortunate enough to have my films featured in festivals like the Phoenix Film Festival, Los Angeles New Film Fest, Long Island International Film Festival and many more. I’ve even directed for the hilarious folks at CollegeHumor. But it doesn’t stop there. My craving for adventure drives me to explore the world, seeking new experiences and profound connections that transcend the ordinary. I started sharing my passion for travel through photography on social media, and before I knew it, I was creating content for some of the biggest travel brands and tourism boards out there. I hope that my work can become the ultimate antidote to the mundane, igniting that sense of adventure in anyone who views it. While I'm currently based in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, you can bet I'm always on the move, searching for the next great story to capture. So, feel free to stick around, take a peek at my work, and join me on this wild ride!FAQs
