Having moved to Southern California in her high school years, the eccentric Buffalo native always knew she was a shining star. With the arts as her passion, she was a triple threat; highly skilled acting, singing and dancing in local theatre and school shows. Deciding to pursue her talents further, Deane Mavis attended New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts to become an actress. She quickly realized that a more suitable and enjoyable creative outlet was in writing and she set her sights on screenplays. She made the move from New York to LA and formed a close relationship with writer/director/producer Tony Bui, best known for his successful indie film THE GREEN DRAGON, which starred Patrick Swayze and Forest Whitaker. Deane Mavis also got involved with various television pilot and sitcom projects, finding a mentor and dear friend in Tom Noonan (HEAT, AMC's "Hell on Wheels").


Deane Mavis met and married her husband in 2011 and quickly had their 3 beautiful children; Ferris, Halen and Hugo. After the birth of her youngest in 2014, she found herself fully consumed by her children and made the decision to return to writing as an expression to everything happening in her life. But instead of trying to write a new screenplay or sitcom she decided to write about something that hit close to home, literally, hence the creation of Motherland of Sam.

In her sparingly free time Sam loves to be active going on runs and doing yoga at least once a week. She also hopes to get her children involved in charity work as they get older, with the hope that each will start his or her own organization helping a cause that they feel a connection to.
