Director Nat Livingston Johnson has signed with Hey Wonderful for commercials and branded entertainment. Johnson was previously part of the directing duo Peking (with Gregory Mitnick), known for Cannes Lion-winning documentary and experiential work for Skype and Doritos x Rock the Vote, along with award-winning short films such as The Kook, which have played at film festivals including Tribeca, Austin and SXSW.
Johnson had been handled as part of Peking by Hey Wonderful and he maintains continuity with the same production company now repping him as a solo director.
Among Johnson’s most recent projects are a scripted campaign for Care.com (via Peking) and a series of interactive VR films (solo) including Alayna, scripted by Antwone Fisher and short-listed for an Emmy Award. The VR film immerses users in the challenges faced by a teenage girl transitioning from her home to foster care. Johnson’s commercial credits also include campaigns for Meta, Chevy, Maxwell House, Boppy, Disney and Google, to note just a few.
