Hey there, everybody! Today on the show we have a very special guest--screenwriter and founder of The Grey List, Brad M. Johnson!

Brad M. Johnson is a writer and filmmaker based in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle. He’s a life-long storyteller who has recently returned from a 12-year detour into the world of corporate marketing to focus on his original loves — movies.

As a storyteller, Brad specializes in genre stories about broken people, redemption, and the power of family, and his scripts have been recognized by Final Draft, The Black List, the Walt Disney Company, and MGM among others.

In 2022, Brad launched The Grey List, an initiative to push back against ageism in the entertainment industry by curating a selection of production-ready feature and pilot scripts from writers over the age of 40.

Brad also runs Daisy If You Do Productions, an indie-film production company. Their first film — and Brad’s first directorial effort, CHAT — was completed in 2023 and is currently making the rounds on the festival circuit.

When he isn’t working on his next script or film, Brad spends his time watching curling (and hoping to one day join a team) and making bad puns that make his family’s eyes roll.
