NATALIE LEVY is primarily a lover and patron of the arts. The photographs displayed here are from a film photography class taken at the University of Chicago, which involved capturing motion through long exposures (see black frame) and a final project that rejected the university's emphasis on theory* by creating an inscrutable, abstract aesthetic (see silver frame). Natalie has also worked with oils, charcoal, and a variety of other traditional media.

*One of the school's informal slogans, aside from the cheery, "Where fun comes to die" and "Hell does freeze over," was, "That's all well and good in practice, but how does it work in theory?" ​

MEGHAN MODAFERRI is a DC-based writer, multimedia producer, and instructional designer. She likes to do things that scare her, so In 2017 she set a goal to perform stand-up comedy for the first time. In 2018, the goal leveled up to once per month. Lately, she's been performing every week. She's truly hopeless at doing anything halfway. Meghan's other work has been published with National Geographic, Slate, North Carolina Public Radio, and in various literary magazines. She loves facilitating writing workshops and retreats, and is currently at work on her first novel.

ZACK ZAROMATIDIS was born and raised on Long Island, New York. He grew up with a family full of music lovers, and he started singing when he was 4, with hopes that he would become the next Backstreet Boy. He got the theater bug years later, when he played Tevye in his middle school production of Fiddler on The Roof at the age of 11. After years of playing old men in school plays, Zack decided to move to New York City and pursue a B.F.A. in Musical Theater at Pace University, where he recently graduated. Some of Zack’s favorite hobbies include playing guitar in his band (or at home, where he frustrates himself learning every Stevie Ray Vaughan song), writing music, exercising, reading comics or binging his favorite TV show, Game of Thrones (House Stark, incase you’re curious)
