略歴

As a director and cinematographer, Jeff Johnson has over 12 years of experience in the industry working on a range of projects that include documentaries, commercials, branded content, and scripted film. He co-founded The Cutting Board in 2009 with a focus on creating a strong network of like-minded creatives who could work together to make thoughtful, engaging stories. His work as a cinematographer has taken him around the world to follow a wide gamut of issues, but recently he has chosen to cover human rights stories closer to home. From 2014 to 2017, Jeff was the Director of Photography for two-time Academy Award winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy on her feature documentary following the stories of amateur athletes in the United States (in post). Jeff's work also includes lensing 2nd Unit cinematography for "An Act of Worship", directed by Nausheen Dadabhoy.

A Thousand Cuts
Cinematography
Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Journalist Maria Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy.
Born to Be
Director of Photography
Soon after New York state passed a 2015 law that health insurance should cover transgender-related care and services, director Tania Cypriano and producer Michelle Hayashi began bringing their cameras behind the scenes at New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital, where this remarkable documentary captures the emotional and physical journey of surgical transitioning. Lending equal narrative weight to the experiences of the center’s groundbreaking surgeon Dr. Jess Ting and those of his diverse group of patients, BORN TO BE perfectly balances compassionate personal storytelling and fly-on-the-wall vérité. It’s a film of astonishing access—most importantly into the lives, joys, and fears of the people at its center.
