Johnny Wu is a Cleveland filmmaker, producing 13 feature length films locally over the past 22 years. Wu told News 5 northeast Ohio has the talent and resources to continue growth in major motion pictures being shot greater Cleveland. But Wu believes greater Cleveland is lacking one major component in attracting even more filmmaking jobs and revenue.
