My name is Cierra Johnson, and I am a writer, film director, and editor in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am a 2020 graduate of Loyola University New Orleans with a Bachelor's degree in English and a minor in Digital Film-making, and a 2022 graduate with a Master of Science degree in Marketing and Communications. I consider myself a storyteller, regardless of the medium, and that passion has led me in many directions where I can write, shoot, edit, or otherwise create the stories that I would like to tell. I am always looking for opportunities to continue to do this.

​

My work includes directing narrative and documentary shorts, including my documentary "Looking at The Edges" and my narrative "The Last Golden Hour." I am a full-time Marketing and Communications professional as well as a freelance replay/camera operator for sport broadcasts for Tulane University, the University of New Orleans, the New Orleans Pelicans, and the New Orleans Saints. I am an Avid Media Composer Certified User (but my preferred editing software is Adobe Premiere Pro), and I have experience in creating visual effects in DaVinci Resolve.

​

My creative writing includes many short stories, unpublished novels, and two trilogies. I primarily write in the dystopian, sci-fi, or urban fantasy genres for a young adult audience. I enjoy exploring the different possibilities in worlds similar to our own in my work. 

​

From creative writing to film projects to experimental videos just for fun, I enjoy the process of storytelling that all of these things require, and have gained the skills needed to accomplish these through my experiences. I am always looking for opportunities to continue to push the boundaries of what I can do.
