Hi. I’m John Bankhead. Gemini. Coach. Outdoor sports enthusiast. Writer. Composer. Lyricist. Director. People person.
That’s me in the middle.
Throughout the last thirty plus years of my creative journey, I've had the good fortune to work on projects including co-producing an opening ceremony spectacular in tandem with the BBC at Glasgow's Celtic Park Stadium; writing and co-directing a broadway scale musical production on the world's largest stage; writing, directing, scoring or producing countless commercial campaigns, music videos, documentaries and indie films at a regional and national level. I've now shifted my creative path toward feature length musicals, with the vision focused on following the "screen to stage" Disney model.
Hailing from Louisiana, I molded my skills within the colorful arts scene of New Orleans and other influential areas throughout the U.S. and abroad.
As a musical creator, my first was WORK THAT SKIRT - a "story of swing", large-scale production that ran for an extended period (200 plus performances) at the GRAND THEATRE (mentioned above). AUDITION, my second, is the original musical motion picture featured in the presentation link provided.
You’re currently reviewing my third, MISTAKEN - an epic original movie musical set in 1969 Louisiana, to be followed by
JOHNNY SADDLES - a children's western themed musical adventure.
Enjoy!
“John Bankhead is one of the most creative people that I have worked with. A true entrepreneur and a real "people person." He is simply a terrific guy - easy to work with, he cares about others and John deserves all of his present and future successes.”
