Dale Armin Johnson (born December 31, 1969 )[3] is an American film producer and managing partner of MICA Entertainment. He is also founder of a film financing company Lynmar Entertainment LLC, a parent company of MICA Entertainment.[4] Under his guidance, MICA Entertainment finances nearly 4-6 theatrical releases per annum.[5]
Film career
Johnson has received his training in film banking with LEW HORWITZ, who is generally regarded as the father of modern film financing.[6] Together they have co-produced Somnia, later named as Before I Wake (2016 film).[7]
In 2011, Dale Johnson was invited to the Michigan Film Industry Panel Discussion during the 2nd Annual DIFF (Dubai International Film Festival) to address young and aspiring filmmakers on "How to finance a movie", which took place at Birmingham, Michigan.[8]
In 2013, Johnson served as executive producer for the film “oculus”.[9] Oculus opened to a very positive reception, and the director Mike Flanagan extended his collaboration with MICA Entertainment for two more projects. As a result, "Somnia" was released under MICA Entertainment’s banner. In an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Johnson stated that, "Oculus' was a very positive experience for us and we are very proud of the film. 'Somnia' is a natural extension of that relationship."[10]
In September 2014, Johnson co-produced the movie “Pawn Sacrifice”, which is based on the real-life story of Bobby Fischer, one of the greatest players of chess. Though the story is widely known and appraised by all, no one was ready to finance the film. That was when Dale came to the rescue, stating "What Hollywood may have been looking for in this story was to show the young kid from Brooklyn taking on the Soviet empire and having this great, glorious win."[11] The production cost of the film was between $19 and $20 million.[12]
