Phil Johnston's (BA’94) path from newsrooms to Hollywood has always been shaped by people.

His years in journalism taught him to look past the headlines and toward the human stories underneath, and he now uses that skill to shape the characters he brings to life on screen. From Wreck‑It Ralph to Zootopia, his storytelling is rooted in curiosity, empathy and connection.
