Johnnie Brannon was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas and spent most of his life growing up on a farm in Oklahoma. Through the encouragement of his high school english teacher, he decided to sign up for her theater class. That was when he knew that acting would be what he was meant to pursue. After years of performing on stage in Northwest Arkansas, Johnnie made the move to Little Rock, where he got involved with local theater. A friend invited him to be a part of a short film in 2010 and since then, Johnnie has appeared in over 40 short and feature film productions. He has played a role in producing, casting, scoring and has worked as a crew member on the feature film, God's Not Dead 2. He has also produced and directed several short films with his close friends and co-creators of Flokati Films.
