Based near Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I’ve been a filmmaker for most of my life, ever since my dad started letting me use his 8mm video camera (thanks dad!). After a detour into other things in university, I was drawn back to video as a way to make money doing what I loved. I built an event and corporate video business from scratch and became one of the best-known wedding videographers in the Jewish-Moroccan community, among others (although I’m not Jewish, or Moroccan!). I damaged my ears by shooting hundreds of big, loud wedding receptions (it seems my mom’s side of the family is genetically disposed to it, also). I love shooting weddings, but the tinnitus convinced me it was time to start making films.
The hard work I had put into shooting and editing weddings served me well in the documentary world. I crowdfunded my first film, Love Notes to Newton. After that, I had the good fortune to meet director Evan Beloff, who directed me as we shot two feature documentary films, Just As I Am: The Shira Choir, Meet, Pray, Love, Return of the Love Rabbi, and Ben’s Animals, all shown on CBC. I’ve worked for lots of great brands doing great, fun work, but my favourite is to tell beautiful stories that develop over time.
Through my work in video, indie film, documentary, wedding films, television and for brands I’ve developed skills to meet my clients needs. I shoot, colour-grade, edit picture and sound, and more, and I call on others to work alongside for bigger projects.
If you think I’d be a good match for a project you’re thinking of, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Noah, Calgary native, today calls Montreal home. A lifelong filmmaker drawn to the emotional truth of a story as to the technical precision of his craft. he has served as DOP-Editor with his good friend, documentary film Director Evan Beloff on three acclaimed feature documentaries for CBC’s Absolutely Canadian series: Ben’s Animals, Just As I Am: The Shira Choir, and Meet. Pray. Love. Return of the Love Rabbi. He built his documentary chops on a crowdfunded feature film, Love Notes to Newton which premiered before a packed audience in Silicon Valley. The screening was attended by Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple. Noah believes in “Making Meaningful Media.” The best stories are those that matter—joyful, challenging, and deeply human—and that filmmaking should always leave audiences glad they watched.
