Deb Shoval was raised by her Israeli father and American mother in a Pennsylvania coal town, where she owns an organic vegetable farm. Themes that interest Shoval remain constant as she develops a “house” of film, as Fassbinder called it: land and the landless; diaspora, exile and home; how human beings transcend apathy. Shoval’s short AWOL premiered at Sundance (2011), winning awards from Kodak, Technicolor, and Women in Film, and was featured in The New York Times.
