AWOL - Cineffable 2012

Deb SHOVAL

Deb Shoval's first short film, AWOL, premiered at Sundance in January 2011 where she was awarded the Women in Film/Calm Down Productions Grant. Her first feature film project, Poppies and Olives, was chosen as an Emerging Narrative Script for the IFP Market and received a Film Independent Producers Lab Fellowship and a grant for research from the Leeway Foundation. Shoval is currently completing her thesis work for an MFA in Film Directing at Columbia University, where she received a Columbia Women in Film (CWIF) Fellowship in 2009-2010. She was chosen for the Berlin Talent Campus, 2011. She divides her time between New York City and rural Pennsylvania, where she runs an organic vegetable farm. The themes that interest her remain constant as she farms and develops a house of film, as Fassbinder called it: land and the landless; diaspora, exile and home; and how human beings transcend apathy.
