Caleb Johnson grew up in western Kentucky where he did not have a horse. He began making dark and funny short films in college and later earned an MFA from Columbia University where he still did not have a horse, although he’s pretty sure he paid for one.

 

His award winning short ROOT premiered at SXSW in 2013 and went on to screen at major festivals across the US and abroad.

 

Caleb currently lives in Austin, TX.
