Deva Palmier is a London and Frome, Somerset–based writer-director whose films explore the fragile balance between psychological realism and the supernatural. Her work is known for its emotional honesty, striking imagery, and complex female protagonists navigating trauma, memory, and self-reclamation.

Her debut feature feature film BLUE a haunting supernatural drama starring Rosie Allerhand and Gemma Jones (Bridget Jones, Rocketman), with songs performed by Shirley Henderson (Stan & Ollie, Bridget Jones), has been released on Prime USA, UK and Canada with its evocative soundtrack on major streaming platforms.

Deva’s short films have screened at numerous BAFTA, Academy Award, BIFA, European Film Award, and Canadian Screen Award-qualifying festivals. They have won six awards, including a Silver Plaque at the Chicago International Film Festival, and received seventeen international nominations. Her signature style fuses visual lyricism with tension-driven, character-led narratives that probe psychological truth within heightened worlds.

A BAFTA Connect member and alumna of BAFTA Crew, she was selected for the BFI’s Guiding Lights Scheme, mentored by Gurinder Chadha, and attended the Berlinale Talent Campus.

Trained as an actress at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama on a BP Scholarship, Deva later studied filmmaking in a Summer Term at New York University on a William and Eva Fox Fellowship under Professor Karl Bardosh.

Her current project, 3 DEGREES, marks her boldest work yet — a psychological thriller exploring trauma, dissociation, and the haunting power of memory.
