Johnny Otto
Writer/Director/Producer/DP/Editor
Johnny Otto is a filmmaker with the spirit of a true independent artist.
He began his journey when he was 6 years old shooting super 8 films with his brothers and sisters and the neighborhood kids.
When he was 19 he attended film school in Canada where he made the experimental, award-winning short
"The Ecstasy Barbershop".
After moving to Los Angeles in 1990, he spent a decade writing scripts, polishing his craft, waiting for technology to catch
up with his indie visions: To create films without studios, lights, or crew.
In 2006 Otto purchased his first digital camera,
giving him the freedom to create films with very little budgets. In 2007 he created 7 films in 7 weeks. These films are showcased on this page and
are called "Slimdunce".
