You could say that Re-Recording Mixer Lana Marie Hattar of Company 3 Toronto has the principles of sound and music in her blood. Even before she came to Company 3 (then under the Deluxe banner) in 2001, to serve in an entry-level role, she had proven her talent and technical abilities mixing in the music realm. With a natural ear for sound and a strong foundation in audio mixing, she steadily rose through the ranks, officially stepping into her current position in 2024, primarily focusing on Foley, sound effects and backgrounds, in partnership with another mixer focused on dialogue and music.

Hattar has brought her unique touch to a diverse slate of productions, including From (Seasons 2 through 4) for MGM+/Epix, Motorheads for Amazon Prime and upcoming historical feature starring John Travolta, November 1963, from renowned director Roland Joffé. Recently, she also shared a CAS (Cinema Audio Society) Award nomination with Company 3’s Steve Foster for mixing the musically charged documentary Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery (ABC News Studios/Disney+).

Before transitioning into film and television, the Toronto native cut her teeth in that city’s vibrant music scene, working as a live sound engineer (front-of-house and monitor mix) and recording engineer at respected studios including Electric Machine and The Big Room. Her projects ranged from studio albums and symphony recordings to live music podcasts—experiences that not only sharpened her technical skills but also gave her the versatility to collaborate with creatives across genres, cultures, and workflows. This ability to adapt and connect continues to define her approach when mixing for directors and showrunners crafting and finetuning the audio for their work.

Outside the mixing stage, Hattar is an avid skydiver and snowboarder. She also plays guitar whenever and wherever she’s able.
