JP Frary designs and builds furniture in a shop on the old Naval Air Station in Alameda specializing in making beautiful things out of recycled materials. His stories can be heard in hardware stores and lumber yards throughout the Bay Area. JP won a Moth Story Slam with a story about trying to cross the Trinity Alps in mid-winter when he was eighteen. He failed.

Trina Michelle Robinson is interested in exploring memory through video, archival materials and text. Her video essay The Call has been exhibited in galleries and film festivals throughout the country. She has also told the story of exploring her ancestry on The Moth Mainstage at theaters in New York, Portland, OR and Westport, CT.

Kyle Metzner is an educator, craftsman, and storyteller who lives in Oakland with his filmmaker wife and two daughters.
