Handheld Camera
 ALEXANDRA NOLEN

FILMMAKER & STORYTELLER

Hello!

​

I love telling stories. When I was a young girl, I was always curious how a camera worked to capture moments. One day, my father gave me his Sony handycam to try out and the rest is history. Since then, I've been know as the girl with the camera, eager to create a vision. Telling stories to connect and inspire others through human emotion is at the core of why I do this. It's beyond rewarding having the opportunity to help someone tell their life journey. It's also the main reason why I do this job. Life is all about relationships. The impact of the people who I've met through this job will stay with me....forever.

​

​

A few areas that I have experience throughout a twelve year

journey in storytelling:

​

Storyboarding

Creative idea creation & pitching

Story & field producing

Directing camera crews

Script writing

Other things that I love

 

My Faith- I would not be here without God. He is the one who
has blessed me with these gifts, talents, and abilities
to tell stories

Cooking- food brings everyone together

60s-90s Vinyl - music from these eras are unmatched  

35mm Film Photography- nothing still beats the beauty of film 

Snacking- every good story needs a good snack 

Nature Walks/Hiking- it soothes the soul 

Basketball- besides the camera, it was my second love
