Daniella DeVinter is an Anglo-Danish writer, academic, and filmmaker.
About
She spent her childhood between Denmark, London, Hampshire, and Cheshire, before moving to Oxford for her bachelor’s in German, where she graduated with the best results in the Languages faculty.
At the risk of losing her sanity, Daniella decided to stay on at Oxford for a master’s, graduating with Distinction in Comparative Literature and Critical Translation.
She’s now in Cambridge writing her PhD — an offbeat biography of Rainer Werner Fassbinder which she plans to publish as a trade book.
Film
Outside the ivory towers, Daniella is an award-winning filmmaker.
She’s the director, writer, and independent producer of Unwell Woman, a gothic horror dealing with postpartum psychosis, and she has won prizes for her one-woman-show shorts.
She has also directed kooky (and spooky) music videos, as well as short documentaries about women’s health for Headspace.
Television
In her non-existent free time, Daniella writes crime dramas for major TV broadcasters including Channel 4 and PBS, where she gets to tell stories about gutsy women (Before We Die) and neurodiversity (Patience).
Daniella navigates life as an autistic ADHDer with hidden disabilities, and is a passionate advocate for accessibility in the film industry.
She speaks English, German, and Danish natively (French, Norwegian, and Swedish badly).
