Leia has always been a memorable girl with big hair, a bigger heart, and the biggest personality. She was born & raised watching all types of films with her cinephile parents in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She continues to appreciate and be inspired by her roots in the iconic horror city.

“My purpose is to direct a feature horror film in association with A24 Films.

… It’s not if, just when.”

- Leia Devin, since probably 2017.

She has directed 8 narrative shorts, most notably Camp Moose Tracks and The Margins (winner of best director & student short at Big Bear Film Summit & best student short at Dreamachine IFF). Currently she is the development process for her unnerving directorial debut.

After studying at Point Park University and earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production and Directing, Leia has been working professionally since 2018. She has been production coordinating for clients such as General Mills, Dicks Sporting Goods, and Peloton.

Leia is a founding member of Slow Drift Collective, a female owned and operated film company in Pittsburgh. Over the years, she has had the opportunity to be the first assistant director to over 30 independent films.

Besides hustling her production work, Leia also is a content creator for small businesses such as Vallozzi Styling, Devils in the Details, & Page’s Dairy Mart. She creates engaging content to teach yet entertain the viewer, making you pause and enjoy the moment amidst the doom scroll.
