Director Biography - Deborah Puette
A queer, femme creator who moves between film, television, and theater, Deborah Puette grew up in an Irish-Catholic family of hunters who taught her to use a shotgun when she was eight. She left her small town to live around the globe, from Paris, France, to Juneau, Alaska and credits her two decades as an award-winning actor with her early success as an emerging writer and director.
Deborah’s first short film was chosen as one of eight finalists from over 2200 entries in the NBCUniversal Shorts Festival, garnering nominations for Best Writer, Best Director, and Best Short. She expanded that into her first feature, entitled Cash for Gold; that script held a top-ten placement on The Black List for sixteen weeks, became a Finalist in The Black List x WIF Feature Residency, and garnered the attention of Franklin Leonard who championed the project prior to production. The film shot in 2022 with Deborah also co-directing and playing the lead, and is now available on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and other VOD platforms courtesy of Freestyle Digital Media.
