Noelle Gentile

Noelle Gentile is a director, producer and artist educator, who seeks to create spaces for people to tell their stories through film and theatre as a vehicle for transformation, healing and connection. Noelle worked as an acting coach to the three lead actors on an Official Sundance Selection and winner of Sundance's NEXT Innovator Award, We The Animals, directed by Jeremiah Zagar and based on the novel by Justin Torres. She is the creative director and producer on the new immersive documentary website Piece of The Dream. The site, designed to take a closer look at the lives of workers, takes the viewer through the multi-faceted issues that New Yorkers are facing across the state. Most recently, Noelle and co-director Michael Mejia completed work on short film, Between Us. This film explores Noelle's relationship with her five-year old daughter whose medical fragility and different abilities ultimately guide their family to a deeper love than they thought possible.
