About

Victoria Van Winkle was born and raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee until moving to Los Angeles for College. After attending the University of Southern California, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre, she is now developing her career full-time as a filmmaker, and actor.

She has been cast in several theatrical plays, musicals, short films and independent feature films, wearing the hat of actor, producer, and writer. Shortly after graduating from USC, Victoria's life shifted when her childhood best friend committed suicide. After the 2014 passing of her friend, she knew she needed to tell the story of her friend and the thousand others who struggle with depression. Her critically praised short film, “Dear Harley,” premiered at multiple film festivals across the world, bringing more light to these issues and opening up much needed conversations on mental health.

Victoria continues to expand her awareness around such topics, exploring also themes of grief, loss, addictions, and human intimacy and connection.
