 Elizabeth
Nord, Director and Producer
Liz's foray into this project resulted from her passion about both
the future of Israel, as an American Jew, and her involvement with the
independent record label, Negative Progression Records. Liz believes
that the spirit of punk rock translates well in the world of guerilla
filmmaking. Some of her favorite bands include Minor Threat, Fugazi,
Bad Religion and Sonic Youth.
Liz
is a documentary filmmaker, media educator, and columnist with a
professional history in graphic design. She is currently serving
on the Board of Directors of the Bay Area Women in Film and TV and
running TILT (Teaching Intermedia Literacy Tools), the youth program
of the Film Arts Foundation. She is also the independent film columnist
for Death + Taxes Magazine. Liz has produced a number of short videos,
and Jericho's Echo is her first feature.

Crew
Joseph Bironas, Editor.
Joseph grew up in Louisville, Ky in the same music scene that produced
such underground legends as Slint, Rodan, June of '44, and Rachel's
to name only a few. He has worked his way through jobs ranging from
systems administrator, to musician, to sound engineer, and a host of
theater spots, before settling on writing and directing short films
in the Bay area. His production and direction credits include promotional
videos for some of the premier event organizers in San Francisco. He
has also written and directed fictional short films, and a short subject
documentary based on the lives of Russian Jewish immigrants in America.
Joseph comes to this project through a passion for punk rock and love
of the art of documentary film making.
