Noel Leon

Noel Leon is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and comedian whose work spans multiple genres and disciplines. A veteran journalist and stand-up comic, she brings razor-sharp wit and emotional depth to every project. Her debut feature, A Comedy of Errors—which she wrote, co-directed, edited, and starred in—premiered at the Big Apple Film Festival this spring and has already attracted distribution interest.

Noel’s earlier short films have won several festivals, showcasing her unique voice as a writer-director-performer. Currently, she is in preproduction on The Sicilian Squad, a star-studded, high-budget feature she penned, backed by Buffalo 8, Mickey Gooch, and Rick Schwartz (Black SwanThe Departed).

In addition to her film work, Noel is represented by Trident Media for her debut book, set to release next spring. A former competitive figure skater of 17 years, she brings fierce discipline and rhythm to her storytelling. Based in New York City, she is also sober and active in the local recovery community, grounding her work in honesty, resilience, and transformation.
