Lara Johnston, a School of Media Studies professor at Humber College and Program Coordinator for the Post Production graduate certificate, edited the feature film Mouthpiece which is the opening night film for the Special Presentations section of the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Mouthpiece is directed by iconic Canadian director Patricia Rozema and in the words of Danis Goulet, TIFF programmer, is “a potent exploration of how women across generations contend with their own socialization.”  Further information about the film and how to buy tickets is available at tiff.net/tiff/mouthpiece.

Although the film wasn't officially a Humber endeavor, Lara edited the film, had grads as assistant editors and was able to screen a rough cut of the film to her entire cohort from last year, an amazing experience for our students!

Congratulations, Lara!
