International Filmmaker | Contracted Kids Share Filmmaker
Kristina and Deven have a family history together—he is her nephew. Kristina recently asked Deven if he would like to join the team for the upcoming pilot workshop in Santigo.
His eight years of filming and living in Asia will be an outstanding asset to our upcoming mission.
Deven is a film director, editor, and photographer with extensive experience in music videos, documentaries, narrative short films, and commercial work. Currently based in LA, he has lived in China and Taiwan for over eight years. He speaks fluent Mandarin and has worked with many clients and brands from the Asia region.
Coming from a writing background, Deven loves to approach projects from the ground up, working with clients and artists to craft a narrative and find the most compelling way to bring their message or vision to the screen.
He has experience filming in unique conditions all over the globe and embraces the challenge and excitement of working on projects outside his comfort zone. He is used to working in fast-paced environments and finding creative solutions to problems as they arise.
With a background in producing as well, Deven has the practical skills to take a project from the conceptual stage all the way through to completion and works with clients on budgeting, storyboarding, location scouting, and project completion timelines.
