Navigating Independent Filmmaking with Jayson Johnson | Story First in a Content-Driven World

Today on Adeptus On-Air, host Mike Hoffman chats with Jayson Johnson, an award-winning writer, director, and producer whose work spans short films, feature development, and collaborations across major networks and independent platforms. Jayson shares how early experiences watching television with his family sparked a curiosity about the people behind the screen and eventually led him into radio, TV, and film studies. He reflects on the winding path that brought him to California, including an unexpected job at Francis Ford Coppola Winery that shaped his approach to craft, quality, and passion for storytelling. He talks about building his career through short films, learning every role behind the camera, and founding Strike Five Films as a philosophy of persistence rather than perfection. He shares his perspective on the realities of film financing, the risks of streaming distribution, and why strong characters and honest stories matter more than spectacle. Tune in to hear more about Jayson’s upcoming feature film Roger and Me, his views on streaming versus theatrical releases, and how collaboration with actors shapes the final story audiences see.
