Independent Filmmaker Noëlle P. Soulier, is known for her dynamic storytelling and cross-cultural perspective. Born in Colorado and raised in France, Noëlle has spent over a decade mastering the craft of visual media, with a deep focus on screenwriting and film directing. She honed her skills with a BFA from The Metfilm School, London, followed by a MFA from the New York Film Academy, Los Angeles, where she graduated magna cum laude.

Noëlle’s creative journey began in theatre, where she directed and designed productions like The Little Shop of Horrors and Woyzeck in 2013. Her passion for storytelling quickly shifted to film, leading to a series of genre-focused short films that allowed her to refine her visual style. In 2016, she wrote her first feature script, Loulou, which then won a Metfilm School writing competition.

 

Before fully committing to screenwriting and directing, Noëlle first built a career as a film editor. Her experience in post-production sharpened her sense of timing, pacing, and visual narrative. As an editor, she worked across various genres, giving her a deep understanding of the technical and emotional layers that elevate a story. This background continues to inform her directorial style, allowing her to seamlessly blend the art of storytelling with technical precision.​
 

Since moving to Los Angeles, Noëlle has expanded her portfolio, directing and producing a couple more genre-based short films before returning to her roots In 2019 with Loulou, adapting it for an American audience. The feature, which explores the emotional journey of a transgender teen in a conservative family, is set for release in 2025 through Buffalo 8 after overcoming pandemic-related delays.​

Noëlle is currently developing multiple new projects, notably an anthology series that brings together diverse filmmakers to explore stories around fertility. She draws from her rich international heritage — spreading from Vietnamese to Polish — and her upbringing in a multicultural environment. Fluent in both English and French from an early age, Noëlle’s films are heavily influenced by European cinematic movements, particularly French Poetic Realism, the French New Wave, and British Social Realism. She views filmmaking as a poetic lens through which to observe and reflect on the complexities of the human experience.
