Greg Johnston, was born in the Ottawa area, later moving to the Barrie area as a child.
Greg stepped into the world of film in the late 1990's when he attended acting school in Toronto. While working full time during the day in the automotive industry, Greg would travel to Toronto several nights a week to attend acting school. Although, at the time, an acting career didn't pan out at that time, his love for the film industry never died.
In the mid 2000's Greg went on to become a police officer; and now works as a Homicide Detective with one of the largest municipal police services in Canada. Eventually, Greg was introduced to Neil MacKay through a mutual friend.
Greg, wanting to step back into the film industry, knowing that Neil had feature films under his belt, discussed with Neil the possibility about financially investing in one of Neil's undetermined upcoming projects. Then, Neil presented Greg with a script for a movie called Simons Reach, and Greg couldn't put it down; he approached Neil about being the sole executive producer for the film.
They put plans in motion to produce the film and Rapid City Entertainment was created. The Covid-19 pandemic made it necessary to put the Simons Reach project on hold as some of the actors selected for the project were from other parts of the world. The Covid-19 Pandemic made it necessary to put the project on hold as national borders began closing.
In the meantime, Rapid City Entertainment slotted in the movie, Death Hunt; Greg not only assumed the Executive Producer responsibility, but also producer. Greg also acted in the film, as he played Deputy Gary Williams, one of the main villains. Death Hunt was released in 2022 and is available on multiple media platforms, and DVD.
