Juvie Hall & Cynthia Lopez
Epiphany Starters

Juvie Hall (aka Diana Fedoroff) is a study in wackiness. A born goofball with a penchant for academia, she’s been known to win both karaoke and national oral argument competitions. She’s a lover and a fighter, a gentlewoman and a scholar. Her favorite activities include collecting letters to follow her name (including B.S., B.A., and J.D.), rollerskating in the counter clockwise direction, and striving to overcome both roller derby opponents and outmoded ideas. She is currently a freelance writer, editor, and budding documentary filmmaker.

Cynthia Lopez made her first film at age eleven, the print of which was tragically lost. After searching for her soul in an academic career and sharpening her barista skills while doing video work on the side, she experienced an old-school epiphany at an academic conference that involved burning ears, dizziness, and a somersaulting stomach and dropped everything to focus on filmmaking. No one has broken it to Cynthia that the epiphany was actually a mild case of the flu. Cynthia has written, produced, directed, shot and edited both documentary and narrative fiction projects since 1998.
