Deragh Campbell discusses her passions in film in The Kit, “Meet the Women on the Rise at TIFF 2016):
“Deragh Campbell is a low-key festival darling—from Sundance to the Berlinale and a 2015 TIFF Rising Star—who, at 27, speaks like a wizened grande dame of art house cinema. And though Campbell is lithe and cool, she is also a quiet storm. From her standout performance in Matt Porterfield’s I Used to Be Darker (2013) to her upcoming role in Julian Radlmaier’s The Pursuit of Happyness, Campbell has often chosen independent films whose gender politics she can get behind. As she puts it, “It’s important to fight for the character as a complex individual.” What’s more, she’s quick to point out that her success has been thanks to amazing women in the industry. Of the programmers she met at the Berlinale festival, Campbell says, “Sometimes in film you’re lucky enough to find these pockets of incredibly smart women who support you and champion your work.”
