Johanna Kern is a Canadian film producer, screenwriter, director, multiple award-winning author and entrepreneur, best known for her fantasy / family feature film "Shadowland: The Legend".[1][2] Since her unusual spiritual experiences in mid 1990s, she became a Transformational Teacher, practicing and sharing the Master Teachings of HOPE, helping people to find their own power and progress in all areas of life.[3]

Early life, education and beginning of artistic career

Johanna Kern was born in Poland, where she studied Fine Arts at the Visual Arts College, Kielce.[4][5] She then studied drama as an actor/apprentice in theatre, also in Kielce. She became a professional actress, and after moving to Toronto, Canada, continued acting on stage and screen.[4][5] The first screen credit she earned in Canadian film was for a principal role of Mrs. Yarulewski in "Sam & Me" (as Johanna Kern-Wronikowski), a feature by Deepa Mehta. At the same time, Kern also ran "SMYK" theatre company in Toronto, focusing its repertoire on young audiences, and worked as a radio Host/Producer at "Breakfast Radio Zet", a show targeting Polish-Canadian audiences in the Toronto area. Later, she continued her education at Ryerson Polytechnic University, and graduated with an honors B.A. degree in Applied Arts/Film Studies.[6][7] Kern was also the founder of "Kid Stage", an acting school for children, teenagers and young adults, operating in Mississauga, Ontario. She taught acting to over 100 children each semester, and produced stage musicals with a large cast of over 200 child actors and dancers, including "Kid Stage" students.[4]

In 2002, Kern decided to use one of her stage plays, "Frank, Big Baba and Forty Thieves" as the basis for her fantasy / family feature film. While "Frank, Big Baba and Forty Thieves" was a stage musical, filled with dancers playing "Robbers", the film version of the story (later titled "Shadowland: The Legend") was structured around fantasy creatures called "Shadows", played by dozens of highly skilled martial artists.[4][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Career

Johanna Kern is a filmmaker who is usually involved in all aspects of filmmaking: producing, writing and directing.[13] Early in her career, she was a professional actress in Europe, and in 1989 moved to Toronto, Canada, to pursue her career in film and television.[4][5] Kern has made a number of dramatic short films including the critically acclaimed short "Cherries for Brian" (1997 Palm Springs International Film Festival, Raindance International Film Festival and Figueira da Foz International Film Festival- Portugal). Her other short films include "All About Men" (1996 Raindance International Film Festival and Cinewomen – Norwich International Film Festival), "All About Women" (1996), "Toronto: Second Society" (1995 – documentary about homeless) and "The Portrait of a Man" (1994)[6][7]

Aside from the short films she made in the 1990s, she also produced, wrote and directed "Shadowland: The Legend",[6][14] a fantasy / family feature film. The film was picked up for Canadian distribution by Entertainment One[15] and was first released across Canada on 4 September 2012, as VOD on several TV cable outlets, as well as on Telus, iTunes and Google Play.[6]

Kern has also written several feature screenplays and worked as a producer/director on a number of television commercials and music videos.[7] She was the founder and executive director of "Fantasy Worldwide Film Festival" (2005–2007).[16] The festival had a widespread media coverage from many popular television, radio and newspaper outlets,[16][17][18][19] and focused on projects in the genres of World Mythology, Mysticism, Magical Realism, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Legend & Archetype.[16][17][18][19]

Johanna Kern holds an Honors Bachelor of Applied Arts/Film from Ryerson Polytechnic University, Toronto, Canada, and previously studied drama and fine arts in Europe.[6][7]
