}}Derek Wayne Johnson (born February 23, 1983) is an American film director, screenwriter and film producer.[1] Born and raised in Carthage, Texas, Johnson began making short films at an early age, winning several awards while still in high school. Johnson directed his first feature film, Within Us, in his senior year of film school. After college he broke into the movie business in Texas and Louisiana by directing independent films such as Broken Blood and Scrape, eventually making his way to Hollywood.[2] In 2017, Johnson directed and produced a documentary about Academy Award-winning director John G. Avildsen whose credits include Rocky and The Karate Kid.[3] John G. Avildsen: King of the Underdogs examines Avildsen's life, career and films and features interviews with Sylvester Stallone, Ralph Macchio, Martin Scorsese, Talia Shire and Burt Reynolds, among others.[4] The documentary is an unofficial companion to the book The Films of John G. Avildsen: Rocky, The Karate Kid, and Other Underdogs written by Larry Powell and Tom Garrett.[5] Sylvester Stallone asked Johnson to direct and produce a documentary on the making of the original Rocky, currently entitled 40 Years of Rocky: The Birth of a Classic, due for release in 2019. The documentary will feature Sylvester Stallone narrating behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the film.[6]In 2017, Johnson began production on a documentary entitled STALLONE: Frank, That Is, about musician and actor Frank Stallone, brother of Sylvester Stallone, also due for release in 2019. The documentary will feature interviews with Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Billy Zane, Geraldo Rivera, Joe Mantegna and many others.[7] Johnson cites his original VHS copy of Raiders of the Lost Ark as the reason he became a filmmaker, calling it "the holy grail" of his movie collection and the movie he studied the most growing up.[8] Awards
