Lori Joyce
1952-2015
After a brief struggle with cancer, it is with deepest grief and sorrow that we announce the passing of the Producer of Idanha Films, Lori Joyce, at the young age of 63. Lori crossed over on Saturday, July 25th 2015 at 12:20am as she wished, in a beautiful mountain home surrounded by the love of family and friends.

Lori lived as an artist, mentor, creative director, spiritual advisor, mother and impassioned friend to all who entered her heart. Her work for peace, social justice, women and children’s issues and environmental concerns through documentary film making are honored tributes of her legacy. Lori’s productions received national and local recognition through network television, various film festivals and a Peabody Award.
Lori left Idanha Films to her Board of Directors and one of her last wishes was to finish Arise II. In 2017, they will be revealing two exciting projects so please stay tuned.
