In this interview I had a chat with Johnny Hockin where we talk about when he worked on MTV interviewing famous actors like George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Hugh Jackman and Tommy Lee Jones. Not all of them were easy to talk to but some were really a pleasure. Johnny Hockin is a Toronto-based producer and filmmaker. While working as a correspondent at MTV News, he co-created and hosted MTV Movie Night for MTV Canada, which aired on CTV. In 2011, he produced the viral fan film Tron: Destiny which has almost 4 million views. Johnny left MTV to form Juniper Island Productions, where in 2013 he produced the BravoFact short Manifold with director Anthony Scott Burns. Manifold starred Stephen McHattie, premiered at Fantastic Fest in Austin, and garnered 200,000 views and a Vimeo staff pick. He has worked as a commercial producer and director with clients including Red Bull, Soho House and Vice Media.- IMDb Mini Biography By: B.
