Full Bio
Barclay DeVeau is a director/producer/writer who grew up acting in films, television and Broadway shows. She played Liza Minnelli's daughter in the Tony Award winning musical, The Rink, Drew Barrymore's best friend on the big screen, and appeared with Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino in the classic film, Scarface, all by the age of fifteen.

Renowned director Alan Pakula (Sophie's Choice, All The President's Men) took Barclay under his wing when he recognized in her a passion that went beyond appearing in front of the camera. With his mentorship and support, Barclay began to study all aspects of filmmaking. She has gone on to collaborate on numerous films, television shows and theatrical productions, including projects for 20th Century FOX, Universal Studios, Disney and Paramount. She executive produced the acclaimed film, To Leslie (2022), which garnered lead actress Andrea Riseborough an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. She is currently producing the feature films East of Western and Dear Nicholas, as well as spearheading and directing The Cassandra Project, a trilogy of short narrative films highlighting the dangerously high stakes of disregarding women’s voices.

Barclay has earned several honors for her work, including two Emmy Awards, special recognition from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and a Sony Music Director's Award. She has also been recognized for her theatrical directing work on Twelve Angry Men as performed by Twelve Impassioned Women.

A graduate of Choate Rosemary Hall and the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, Barclay is dedicated to raising the visibility of women in front of and behind the camera. Everything she creates is dedicated to her mother and grandmother, who taught her to believe in her own voice and in the magic and power of storytelling.
