Devin Dunne Cannon

Recently nominated for “Best Lead Actor” at the 2021 Madrid International Film Festival for her performance in Walk With Me, which stars Devin in her feature film debut.

Devin hails from Rochester, NY where she knew fairly early in life that she had a passion for performing. At age 7 when she was cast in a commercial for Wegmans, the beloved upstate New York grocery franchise, her job was to eat a cookie on camera and “pretend” to love it. And so she did. And realized rather quickly that she was very good at that.

Outside of performing and directing, Devin is one of the resident teaching artists with Strangemen Theatre Company, which brings "Actor As Creator” workshops to universities around the country. It is her intention to leave students with the necessary tools to devise their own work. Being a part of new productions from the ground up is a true passion for Devin, and it is her goal to inspire artists - young and old, to be brave, to enter the creative community with a collaborative spirit, and to motivate them to get in a room with generous, like-minded individuals… and simply play.

A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.
