Does Consciousness Continue After Death? With Filmmaker Johanna Lunn

Award-winning producer, director, and writer, Johanna Lund has crafted, and assisted in crafting, many compelling, entertaining, and profoundly thought-provoking programs during her 30 years in the business. Her work has received eight Gemini (Canadian equivalent of an Emmy) nominations and taken home three awards. 

On top of Directing and Co-producing Livestream broadcasts from locations around the world, Johanna has been immersed in the When You Die Project (WYD), which she created. When You Die seeks to raise awareness about death and dying. It includes a podcast, website resources and original content. In tandem with this project are a suite of documentaries. The first, In The Realm Of Death & Dreaming explores whether consciousness survives death and was released late 2021. ( I love it!)
The second, Saying Goodbye: Preparing for Death, will be released in the Fall of 2022. Check out the website at: www.WhenYouDie.org

In addition to producing more than 150 hours of television series and one-offs as an in-house executive producer, she has made independent documentaries for her own companies, Wild East Productions and Centre East Media, and won best documentary at Hot Docs International Film Festival for her moving and timely film, Forgiveness: Stories for Our Time. She has worked as Director of Programming for Alliance Atlantis and played a key role in the launch of IFC—The Independent Film Channel Canada. 

Prior to that, Johanna was Head of Independent Production for CTV, Canada’s #1 network. She created View-finders (AKA ScreenScene), the first competitive international children’s film festival in English-speaking Canada, and was Artistic Director of the Atlantic Film Festival. Years of programming and producing have honed her storytelling talents. Johanna’s past project include An Uncommon King, and Going On which can be found online, at festivals and on iTunes.
