Deborah went to New York City to study acting when she was 17 and quickly got involved in also writing and producing indie films. Her first feature, A Gun For Jennifer (1997), went to over 27 film festivals and is a European cult hit. She then produced and starred in the indie Molotov Samba. Shortly after, with her eighteen month old son in a stroller and her baby girl on her chest in a Bjorn, Deborah wrote, starred in and directed In-Between, a supernatural 9/11 thriller

She also wrote, starred in and directed A Cry From Within starring Eric Roberts, Cathy Moriarty and James McCaffrey to be followed by Confidence Game featuring Sean Young, James McCaffrey and Robert Clohessy.

In the last couple years, Deborah has begun the dive into the exciting world of episodics and wrote, produced and starred in the supernatural thriller pilot A Beautiful Distraction (starring Sean Young, Adrian Paul and Vivica Fox). In spring of 2022, her first season of Crazytown (a dark comedy about the strip club world), premieres on streaming platforms globally.

During the pandemic, Deborah was engaged to write the screenplay for, produce and act in Trail Blazers, starring Antonio Sabato Jr, Michael Paré, Costas Mandylor and many others. Trail Blazers is an epic tale about the ultimate battle between good and evil, shooting in February and March 2022. Deborah is also in pre-production for Fragmented, a thriller she is starring in and producing, shooting in spring 2022.

Her Director's Cut of Sebastien (A Cry From Within), with 20 minutes of additional footage featuring Tom Pelphrey, premiered on TubiTV December 1, 2021 and is a top performer for distributor Breaking Glass Pictures.
