The WKU film department is hosting a Zoom Q&A with “Moonlight” editor Joi McMillon in the JRH auditorium on Friday, Feb. 18 at 1:15 p.m.

The event will give film students a chance to ask questions and gain knowledge from an Oscar-winning editor and pioneer in her field.

McMillon is the first African American female to be nominated for a Best Film Editing Oscar. The movie itself won eight Academy Awards in 2017. McMillon also worked as an editor for 2018’s “If Beale Street Could Talk” and edited five episodes of 2021’s “The Underground Railroad”.

Students are encouraged to come out to the event to speak with and celebrate McMillon.
