Sterling Johnson

“I started my career in television in 1957 in the mail room at  KABV-TV, Los Angeles, where I learned that what I really wanted to do was to become a director-cinematographer. I since have had the opportunity to work on television programs such as the “Barbara Walters Specials”, “The Laugh-In”, and specials with Perry Como and Dorothy Hamill, to name a few. I have earned a number of awards including two Emmy Awards for best direction: ‘Peggy Fleming in Sun Valley,’ and ‘Dinah Shore in Israel.””

In 1993, I moved to Mariposa, California, and turned my attention to producing nature films in Yosemite National Park, including “The Seasons,” “Watersongs,” and “Lightdances.” I collaborated with renown rock climber, Ron Kauk, on our first film together, “Ascending Rhythm,” and more recently on “Return to Balance, A Climber’s Journey,” which is filmed in Panasonic 1080i high definition. “Return to Balance” was honored with the “People’s Choice Award” at the 2005 Wild and Scenic Film Festival.
