Seri DeYoung is a New Mexico raised, LA-based actress and filmmaker. Best known for her work on the hit Freeform series Good Trouble as Claire, a partner at a tech start up, she has also recurred on CBS crime drama S.W.A.T. as Gelina, a radicalized anti-capitalist. Other notable credits include episodes of Breaking Bad (AMC), Forever (Amazon), Adam Ruins Everything (TruTV) and the film Culture Shock (Hulu).

Seri writes and directs films that cover everything from coming-of-age, complex family dynamics, and the consequences of extreme beliefs. Her style is bold, unflinching, and visceral. Her ambitious work has been selected to screen at festivals in the US and abroad. Her female-led baseball film Throw Like A Girl finished an inspiring festival run with nominations for Best Directing and an Audience Award from Austin Revolutions Film Festival, and her most recent short film about a family in crisis, Distance, had its world premiere at Dances With Films and went on to screen at Lady Filmmakers and the Burbank International Film Festival. She also picked up a “Best Short” and “Audience Award” for her film Still Life, which received distribution with ShortsTV. Her raw and impactful feature-length documentary Tender Points, A Fibromyalgia Journey was picked up for distribution by Virgil Films Entertainment and released on major streaming platforms. Making the leap from narrative to documentary has challenged Seri’s notions of what it means to be a storyteller. Having the responsibility to capture and share the struggles of this terrible and misunderstood disease in a way that will resonate with everyone - not just those who suffer with it - has served to strengthen her abilities as a narrative filmmaker.  

Seri’s new short film, Unfaithful!, (WINNER Best Comedy Short, Santa Fe Film Festival) is an early 2000’s neo-western about a self-righteous reality TV host who has some personal problems one day at work. Unfaithful! is at the beginning of a festival run, and Seri hopes to have many more opportunities to watch it with an audience.  

Seri spends her time between Albuquerque and Los Angeles with her husband, two cats, a dog, and a lot of houseplants. She enjoys candles, orange flowers, and her favorite food is a green chile breakfast burrito.
