Versatile talent Devon Ferguson, a Writer, Director, and Performer known for his comedic prowess, seamlessly transitions from the spotlight to the director's chair. Trained at esteemed institutions like Second City, UCB School of Improv, and The Groundlings Theatre, Ferguson, self-described as a "mediocre actor," embraces a directorial role with exceptional finesse.
Notably, he's a two-time winner of the Cannes Young Directors Awards, featured in the Shoots New Director Showcase 2021, and nominated as Best New Director in the SHOTS America Awards.
Transitioning behind the camera frees Ferguson from the constraints of memorizing lines, enabling collaboration with talented actors and full immersion in the creative process. His distinctive perspective, diverging from on-screen charisma, holds the promise of revitalizing the comedic landscape.
