Jeffrey Johnson
As a director and cinematographer, Jeff Johnson has over 12 years of experience in the industry working on a range of projects that include documentaries, commercials, branded content, and scripted film. He co-founded The Cutting Board in 2009 with a focus on creating a strong network of like-minded creatives who could work together to make thoughtful, engaging stories. His work as a cinematographer has taken him around the world to follow a wide gamut of issues, but recently he has chosen to cover human rights stories closer to home. From 2014 to 2017, Jeff was the Director of Photography for two-time Academy Award winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy on her feature documentary following the stories of amateur athletes in the United States (in post). Jeff's work also includes lensing 2nd Unit cinematography for "An Act of Worship", directed by Nausheen Dadabhoy.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
