Jasmine J. Johnson Writer, Director, EP
Jasmine J. Johnson (“Triple J”) is a director, writer and producer who originally hails from Bowie, Maryland. She developed a love of character-based storytelling by overdosing on dramatic (albeit emotionally compelling) YA novels in her youth. She attended Temple University, where she received her B.A. in Film and Media Arts. After graduation, Johnson moved to Los Angeles where she cut her teeth in talent management, working at Anonymous Content before transitioning to development. She most recently was an Executive Producer on “The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster,” which had its world premiere at SXSW (2023) and was named by USA Today and Esquire Magazine as one of the “Top 10 Horror Movies of 2023 Thus Far,” (August, 2023). She was a Co-Executive Producer on Peacock's “The Girl In The Woods” and Facebook Watch’s “Mira Mira,” the latter seen by over 80 million viewers.
As a director, J.J.J explores the intersectionality within the minority experience through immersive storytelling techniques. Using heightened elements like magical realism, surrealism, genre and a pinch of humor, her work focuses on themes of grief, discovery and those seemingly modest moments that epitomize human resilience. Collectively her projects have garnered over hundreds of million of views across platforms.
