Emerging actress Deba Hekmat, who garnered the attention of critics following her debut as the lead in the buzzworthy independent British film “Last Swim,” has secured representation with Olivia Bell Management in the United Kingdom.
As a movie enthusiast, I found myself deeply moved by the captivating performance of a remarkable artist – a Kurdish-British model, actress, and writer who was born in Iran but grew up in the UK. This exceptional talent garnered acclaim for her role in Sasha Nathwani’s critically-acclaimed feature debut, which happened to be only her second film credit. The story unfolds during a sweltering summer day in London, where I played a school leaver on the verge of adulthood. Along with my friends, we embarked on an exhilarating urban adventure that reached its climax with a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event.
The film titled ‘Last Swim’ was the inaugural entry in the Generation 14plus competition during the 2024 Berlin Film Festival. It garnered recognition, taking home both the Crystal Bear and AG Kino Cinema Vision 14Plus Prize.”
