ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Deja Vu Prem is a filmmaker from the Philippines who lives in the United States. Her memoir, Beyond the Mountains: An Immigrant's Inspiring Journey of Healing and Learning to Dance with the Universe, chronicles her personal experiences of resilience, cultural transition, and spiritual growth.

Deja's journey as an immigrant is a testament to the human spirit, filled with challenges, healing, and learning to trust the universe’s flow. Her work as a filmmaker, much like her memoir, is a celebration of diversity, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and personal transformation. Through her visual storytelling, she shares a multitude of perspectives and human stories, enlightening readers with the richness of the human experience.

Deja’s memoir provides readers with a profound glimpse into her life’s journey, weaving together healing lessons and universal themes of self-discovery. Besides her work as a writer and filmmaker, she finds joy in dancing, meditation, and connecting with nature—practices that fuel her creativity and keep her grounded. Through her storytelling, Deja dedicates herself to uplifting immigrant voices and celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.
