Career

As performer

Each of the studios' productions are distributed through Mile High Media. Noelle received an AVN Award nomination for Director of the Year in 2010.[12]

In 2011, Noelle began directing for Mile High Media's then-new company, Sweet Sinema. However, she resigned from Mile High Media that November[13] to sign a new deal with AEBN to create new porn brands Girl Candy Films (lesbian sex), Hard Candy Films (straight),[14] Rock Candy Films (gay),[6] and TransRomantic Films (transgender).[8] Hard Candy Films has since been renamed Hot Candy Films.[7]

Noelle has also written about her career on her Huffington Post blog[15] and on Salon.com.[16]
