Fleur Saville: From Emmy-Nominated Television to Global Feature Film

Fleur Saville is a New Zealand-born screen actor and producer with dual New Zealand and U.S. citizenship. Her 20+ year career spans television, film, and theatre, with notable experience both in front of and behind the camera. She is currently based in Auckland and available for screen roles.

Saville’s screen career began with a lead role in the award-winning series Being Eve (TVNZ/Nickelodeon), where she played Eve Baxter across two seasons. The series gained international traction, becoming a finalist at the International Emmy Awards and winning Gold at the New York Festivals. She followed this with a principal role in The Tribe (Cloud 9), a global cult sci-fi series, where she portrayed Ruby.

From 2006 to 2012, Saville was a lead cast member on Shortland Street (TVNZ), one of New Zealand’s most recognisable drama exports. As Libby Jeffries, she featured prominently in multiple seasons, establishing a consistent screen presence and working across comedic, romantic, and dramatic material.

Her feature film credits include Sione’s Wedding (2006), a box office success, and Blood Punch (2014), where she played a lead role and also served as a producer. The film gained cult status in the U.S. independent horror circuit and won awards at festivals including the Austin Film Festival and Dances With Films in Los Angeles.

In parallel with her screen acting, Saville built a strong producing profile while based in Los Angeles. She co-founded Mastertude Corporation and served as Chief Operating Officer. Under this banner, she produced the acclaimed music documentary 40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie (2017), featuring Emmy-winning director Lee Aronsohn.

Saville is currently attached as the lead in Polymath, a next-generation interactive sci-fi feature in development, with a projected USD $200 million budget and global release strategy. The project positions her at the centre of an emerging technology-meets-cinema format, reflecting both her creative range and experience in international co-productions.

Following several years abroad focused on production and development, Saville returned to New Zealand in 2023. She is actively pursuing new acting roles and is open to screen and stage projects in New Zealand and internationally. Her long-form television and film experience, combined with producing and executive experience, positions her as a well-rounded and highly capable performer.
