Fresh from the Seattle's International Standup Competition, Devorah Cutler aka "Devo" brings a special sensitivity to her comedy - what's scarier than breast cancer - standup comedy. Aside from standing up to get people to laugh their way to an early diagnosis, Devo is a public affairs specialist, former studio exec and exec Producer. Most recently she was certified as a Tibetian Healer - hey, are they any sick Tibetians in the room? See, it works!

As an exec in the Hollywood scene, Devorah Cutler-Rubenstein was most recently executive producer of THE SUBSTITUTE, a 15 million dollar feature for Live Entertainment. The action film which stars Tom Berenger, Ernie Hudson, Diane Venora and William Forsythe garnered the number two spot its opening weekend.

As a breast cancer survivor, Devorah is a much sought after speaker and comedian and has spoken to such organizations as the American Cancer Society, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, The Department of Motor Vehicles, the 4th Women Filmmaker's Symposium and standing in line at Savon to get drugs - no, unfortunately not those kind.

As part of Chanticleer Films prestigious Discovery Program, Devorah was chosen to direct a short film which aired on Showtime starring Bill Forsythe. The film went on to win Best Short Film at the Moondance International Film Festival 2000.
