Johnnie Brannon's life journey began in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where he spent the majority of his formative years on a farm in Oklahoma. It was during his high school tenure that a particularly influential English teacher played a pivotal role in shaping his future, encouraging him to enroll in her theater class, an experience that sparked a profound realization - acting was his true calling.
Following years of honing his craft on stage in Northwest Arkansas, Johnnie made the bold decision to relocate to Little Rock, where he became deeply involved in the local theater scene. A serendipitous invitation from a friend to participate in a short film in 2010 marked the beginning of his foray into the world of cinema, and since then, Johnnie has appeared in an impressive array of over 40 short and feature film productions.
Throughout his career, Johnnie has demonstrated his versatility by taking on various roles, including producing, casting, scoring, and working as a crew member on the feature film, God's Not Dead 2. He has also collaborated with his close friends and co-creators at Flokati Films, producing and directing several short films.
