Deb Shoval

This video contains two projects: 1- AWOL (narrative feature, 85 min, Tribeca FF 2016, distributed by The Orchard) Lola Kirke (MOZART IN THE JUNGLE, MISTRESS AMERICA) shines as Joey, an aimless high . . .  school graduate searching for a way out of Pennsylvania coal country.

As Joey falls more in love with Rayna, clouded judgment leads her down a path from which she can’t turn back. 2- AWOL (narrative short, 11 min, Sundance FF 2011, distributed by PBS) Days before her deployment to Afghanistan, Joey, 19, comes home to rural Pennsylvania for Christmas, with big dreams of running away to Canada  show more
