Joanne Loton

Media professional by day, visual art conspirator by night.

<p>Since graduating from Ryerson's Radio and Television Arts program in 2001, Joanne has been working steadily in the Canadian television industry as researcher, associate producer, and writer/director for factual entertainment, docu-drama and full-length documentary productions airing on National Geographic, A&amp;E, History Channel and the Discovery Channel.</p> <p>As an independent filmmaker/writer/producer, Joanne's interests lie in the ways people defy stereotypes whether it be through gender, citizenship, navigating geography and reconciliation with personal space.&nbsp; Past independant projects include a short documentary for the National Film Board of Canada about mothers balancing kids and jobs while playing in a punk band, various video projects exploring gender in the 21st century and a mockumentary about the seedy underbelly of the crafting world.</p> <p>Joanne received an MFA in Documentary Media at Ryerson University in 2009. As an interdisciplinary program, students are expected to explore documentary narratives within film/video, photographic and new media forms.&nbsp; This year's Scotiabank Nuit Blanche project "Poplar Paradiso", co-created with her longtime friend and colleague, Andrea Stewart, fulfills a continuing practice and experiment in creating documentary narratives through physical installation.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
