In this ZFF Masters episode, actor and producer Dakota Johnson talks to ZFF Co-Owner Max Loong, reflecting on how growing up in a film family shaped her artistic instincts and professional path. She discusses the founding of her production company TeaTime Pictures – a company powered primarily by women – and offers behind-the-scenes insight into the eclectic range of projects she has taken on throughout her career. Dakota Johnson has become one of Hollywood's most compelling talents, known for her distinctive screen presence and increasingly impactful work as a producer. After early roles in films such as THE SOCIAL NETWORK and 21 JUMP STREET, she achieved worldwide recognition with the FIFTY SHADES trilogy, earning a 2016 BAFTA Rising Star nomination. Since then, she has balanced acclaimed indie projects like A BIGGER SPLASH, SUSPIRIA, and THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON with major studio films including BLACK MASS and THE LOST DAUGHTER. In 2019, she co-founded TeaTime Pictures with Ro Donnelly, a company driven largely by women. At the 21st Zurich Film Festival, Johnson opened the festival with her new production, SPLITSVILLE and received the Golden Eye Award. ZFF Masters are in-depth conversations with renowned voices from world cinema, open to the public and held during the Zurich Film Festival.
