Writer | Director | PhD @ Cambridge UK / DENMARK / GERMANY
Daniella DeVinter is an Anglo-Danish writer and filmmaker based in Cambridge. She took her bachelor's in German at Oxford and, at the risk of losing her sanity, stayed on for a master's. She's now writing her PhD, an offbeat biography of the crazy, queer German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
Outside the ivory towers, Daniella writes crime dramas for major TV broadcasters including Channel 4 and PBS (Before We Die, 2023; Patience, 2024), where she gets to tell stories about gutsy women and neurodiversity.
Daniella wrote, directed, and independently produced the gothic horror, UNWELL WOMAN (2024), and has won awards for her one-woman-show shorts (PERFECTLY UNDONE, 2021; WRITER'S BLOCK, 2022). She's also directed kooky music videos (BAD ACTORS, 2023; ODE TO APOCALYPSE, 2023), and has made short documentaries about women's health for the global Headspace app.
Daniella navigates life as an autistic ADHDer with hidden disabilities.
She speaks English, German, and Danish natively; French, Norwegian, and Swedish badly.
