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.
​
​

​
Storyboarding
Creative idea creation & pitching
