Daniella DeVinter is an Anglo-Danish writer and filmmaker based in Cambridge.
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 languages and in the arts.
At the risk of losing her sanity, Daniella stayed on at Oxford for a master's, before moving to Cambridge to write her PhD on the crazy, queer German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
Outside the ivory towers, she writes crime dramas for major TV broadcasters including Channel 4 and PBS (BEFORE WE DIE; PATIENCE), where she gets to tell stories about gutsy women and neurodiversity.
Daniella has won awards for her one-woman-show shorts (PERFECTLY UNDONE; WRITER'S BLOCK) and has made films about women's health for the global Headspace app. She's also directed kooky music videos (BAD ACTORS; ODE TO APOCALYPSE) and a gothic psycho-drama due to be unleashed this year (UNWELL WOMAN).
She speaks English, German, and Danish natively; and French, Norwegian, and Swedish badly.
