Tara Johns may have been born in Alberta but she has made her home and built her career as a filmmaker in Montréal, Québec. In addition to the many notable music videos and national television commercials to her credit, her first fiction film, Killing Time was awarded Best Canadian Short at the 2001 Toronto Worldwide Short Film Festival. Along with her community contributions that include mentoring young screenwriters and tutoring illiterate adults, her time and attention is largely focused on continuing her longtime passion of creating and directing original Canadian fiction and documentary programming such as The Secret Language of Girls. The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom is her first feature film
