Navin Dev trained at the prestigious Method actor's school Drama Centre London, which boasts such alumni as Colin Firth, Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy. Upon graduating from the school, Dev focused his learned Method approach into directing for the theatre, directing his first written play 'Intense Isolation' in 2005. Dev soon turned to his main interest of film and in 2006 wrote, produced and directed his first short film 'The Falling' which was subsequently screened at the 2006 Sutton Film Festival and on the UK television channel Propeller TV. Following 'The Falling' Dev soon carved a niche in the fantasy horror genre for which his gothic and psychological horror style would suit best. In 2007 he wrote, produced and directed the short film 'Red Hood' based on the Brothers Grimm classic fairy tale 'Little Red Riding Hood'. 'Red Hood' won the Best Foreign Film Award at the 2008 Washougal International Film Festival (U.S) and was screened in several international film festivals such as the BAFTA qualifying London Short Film Festival (U.K), Branchage Jersey International Film Festival (U.K), Florence International Film Festival (Italy), Amberg Horror Fest (Germany). Dev created a second fairy tale theme short film entitled 'The Tree Man' based on the classic Carlo Collodi's novel 'The Adventures of Pinocchio'. 'The Tree Man' won the Best Short Film Jury Prize award at the 2011 Time Out Critics Choice Puppets on Film Festival (U.K), judged by a panel that included renowned filmmaker Roman Paska. 'The Tree Man' was screened at various international film festivals such as the Festival International des Arts de la Marionnette (Quebec). Dev fully self funded the production of his first feature length film 'Red Kingdom Rising' on a budget below £100K and shot the film on the Super 16mm format, as with 'Red Hood' and 'The Tree Man', to elaborate upon the organic visual quality of the fairy tale horror themes. 'Red Kingdom Rising' has been extensively positively reviewed, with acclaimed horror critic and 'Empire' magazine columnist Kim Newman describing the film as 'A nicely dense, imagistic feel and a grasp of the nightmarish....study of a cracked psyche, using the tropes of scary children's stories....' 'Red Kingdom Rising' screened at the Gotham Screen International Film Festival in New York and was nominated for Best Horror Film at the Portobello Film Festival (U.K). 'Red Kingdom Rising' has been released through 1406 Pictures on Amazon DVD and VOD.
