David Leslie Johnson
Raised in Mansfield, Ohio, David Leslie Johnson began writing plays in the second grade and wrote his first screenplay at age nineteen. He graduated from the Ohio State University in Columbus with a bachelor of fine arts degree in photography and cinema. After working as a production assistant on the Academy Award–nominated film The Shawshank Redemption, Johnson spent five years as an assistant to the film’s director and writer, Frank Darabont, learning the trade of screenwriting from one of the industry’s most respected talents.
Johnson’s most recent project was writing an original screenplay for the film Red Riding Hood, directed by Catherine Hardwicke. He currently has several projects in development. Johnson lives in Burbank, California, with his wife, screenwriter Kimberly Lofstrom Johnson, and their son, Samuel.
