Johnny Darko is a Paris-based filmmaker, screenwriter, and musician with a passion for bold storytelling and raw, emotional expression. As a writer and director, he has helmed several critically acclaimed projects, including The Punch (2018), Subzero (2019), and La Rue-Mère (2021), all backed by major film institutions such as CCM and CNC. His work delves into themes of identity, social struggle, and human resilience, often blending dark humor with sharp social commentary.
Beyond cinema, Johnny is also a dynamic musician, currently developing his debut rock indie solo album while fronting a metal band. His music, much like his films, explores the depths of the human experience—raging, poetic, and unapologetically honest.
A relentless creator with a deep love for pushing artistic boundaries, Johnny is always on the lookout for bold collaborations and meaningful projects that challenge conventions and ignite emotions.
