Biography
Matt Johnson is a Canadian film director, writer, producer, and actor. Born October 5, 1985, Johnson emerged from the independent film circuit with The Dirties (2013), which won Best Narrative Feature at the Slamdance Film Festival, and Operation Avalanche (2016), which premiered at Sundance. His third feature, BlackBerry (2023), documented the rise and fall of the BlackBerry phone and premiered in competition at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival. The film secured widespread acclaim, winning the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award from the Toronto Film Critics Association and a record-setting 14 Canadian Screen Awards from 17 nominations, including Best Motion Picture. Beyond features, Johnson co-created, directed, co-wrote, and co-starred in the 2007–2009 mockumentary sitcom web series Nirvana the Band the Show, its 2017–2018 spiritual sequel television series Nirvanna the Band the Show, and the 2025 feature film Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. As a screenwriter and filmmaker, Johnson operates across multiple formats and scales, from low-budget indie projects to festival competition premieres. A Canadian citizen, he channels a Libra sensibility—inventive and visually curious—and operates under life-path number 11, which suggests a bridge between artistic vision and commercial resonance.
