Mara (Deragh Campbell), a young, successful and somewhat happily married tenure-track professor struggles to balance the completion of her dissertation and the stress of her work as a Creative Writing professor with her life at home. The sudden reintroduction of a man from her past, Matt (Matt Johnson), at the university campus intrigues Mara. Tentative at first, Mara is soon charmed by Matt's innate charisma and the two begin an emotional affair. As their relationship progresses, Matt's chaotic lifestyle bleeds into Mara's, causing her to question her current path.

MATT AND MARA is the latest feature film from MDFF, the award-winning production company of Director Kazik Radwanski and Producer Dan Montgomery. Their most recent feature ANNE AT 13,000 FT won the 2021 Best Canadian Film Award from the Toronto Film Critics Association.
