“Education, Interrupted” is her second documentary, and follows the experience of a mother of three young children navigating virtual school during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. It premieres at the Saint Louis International Film Festival on Saturday, November 3rd.

Film Synopsis: Witness the devastating disruption of schooling through the eyes of an unforgettable family. Tyra Johnson is a devoted and determined mother fighting to maintain her children’s education in one of the country’s most poverty-stricken ZIP codes, which was hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jonathan has spent a majority of his life either in Toronto, Ontario or St. Louis, Missouri and as a result, like Cory in that one episode of Boy Meets World with the jelly beans, sometimes can't decide which he loves more. He contemplates this tension, his life as a teacher, as well as many other existential questions concerning the world (i.e. who is God? what happens after people die? is it really NOT butter?) in his car while listening to Spotify.
