Dani Barker is an award-winning, multi-hyphenate filmmaker and actor whose talents are displayed in her recent feature film Follow Her, directed by Emmy award winner Sylvia Caminer and shot by Academy award nominee Luke Geissbuhler. Follow Her had its world premiere at Fantasporto in 2022 sweeping the top awards and earning Dani Best Actress along with Best Film and Audience Award. In addition, Dani has been the visionary behind other projects that she helmed, scripted and starred in, including Starvival, the Unprofessionals, which she produced, wrote, and played the lead; and Squirm, produced for Canada’s OUTtv. She has an equal affinity for high drama and low comedy and has established herself as an integral member of the Vancouver film community. Dani's most recent project, a horror-comedy feature film called "Five" that she directed, co-wrote and produced, is currently in post production with Executive Producers from Tall Pines Entertainment. Dani continues to develop feature film treatments and screenplays in all genres but is drawn to the horror world having grown up obsessed with scary movies. She is also involved in the development of projects as diverse as documentaries, short films and features extending beyond the horror genre. When Dani isn't on set or developing projects from the ground up, she's often spotted on a distant highline a thousand feet above ground or on the road traveling with her partner, dog and two cats. |
