Demo Reel
 

After graduating from Dartmouth College with a degree in Theater and Film Studies, Johanna spent a decade acting in Los Angeles, where she played a main character in Project Greenlight's Feast trilogy from Dimension Films.

Most recently, she can be seen as a lead in the indie coming-of-age drama July Rising, which enjoyed a long festival run and won the audience award at Sonoma Int’l Film Fest, now streaming on Amazon Prime.

An indie arthouse nerd beyond, Johanna returned to the east coast to create her own work of independent vision and artistic storytelling. While quarantined in her childhood farmhouse during the pandemic, Johanna wrote, directed and produced her first feature film, Shudderbugs
