Hey Stage 32,
I made an account a few years ago as a Cinema student at VCU, and I haven't done much on here since. I saw this Introduce Yourself weekend and figured I'd get involved again. So, here's a little about my professional career.
After graduating in 2022, I interned as a videographer/editor at a local news station, freelanced on commercials, TV, and live sports broadcasting; acted as a lead in an indie feature film, and I've spent the past year working full-time as a production coordinator in advertising. I moved to Atlanta a few months ago, and I'm trying to build a network here.
I'm ready to venture back into narrative work, both on the acting and production side. I'm still working as a coordinator full-time, so I'm only available nights and weekends right now, but if the right opportunity presents itself, I'm ready to transition back into freelancing.
I'd love to meet other people in the area. Please, reach out if you'd like to connect.
Best,
Colton Johnson
