“I firmly believe that you can’t fail if you never quit. I wholeheartedly subscribe to that.” - Jermaine Johnson Jermaine Johnson is a manager and producer at the Beverly Hills-based 3 Arts Entertainment. A fellow scorpio, he is and has always been unapologetically himself. I would know since we met during the early days of our LA journey. Originally from New Jersey, he moved to Los Angeles for the weather, but stayed for the film industry. He graduated from Rutgers and has spent the last ten years building an impressive client roster. I’ve often wondered what it’s like for a manager to produce. What does it actually mean? Why are others quick to assume they aren't doing any work and just "globbing on"? What is it like to guide the career of writers and directors? Lucky for us, Jermaine gives honest answers to these questions. He  also digs into the main differences between managers and agents while also sharing his secret for what makes a good manager. Jermaine represents a wide variety of writers, directors, journalists, and comedians from many different backgrounds. Amongst these clients are Attica Locke (award-winning author of BLUEBIRD, BLUEBIRD), Azie Dungey (UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT, SWEETBITTER, TWENTIES), Cord Jefferson (WATCHMEN, SUCCESSION, THE GOOD PLACE), Fatimah Asghar (BROWN GIRLS, IF THEY COME FOR US), Eve Ewing (IRONHEART, ELECTRIC ARCHES), Justin Hillian (THE CHI), Jia Tolentino  (TRICK MIRROR) and more. He prides himself on finding fresh voices in places where others don’t often look, and giving them a platform to share their unique points of view and opinions. Tune in! Beijos, Caca
