Noah brothers

Dan and Bramwell Noah (generally credited simply as the Noah Bros) are Australian film directors, producers and screenwriters.

Dan Noah graduated from film school with a Masters in Film (Direction). At once a stylist and storyteller - he is also well known for his occasional nod to the tradition of irreverence established by such celebrated fellow countrymen as Peter Weir, Alex Proyas and Russell Mulcahy.

Bramwell Noah began his career as a playwright and theater director before commencing a filmmaking collaboration with his brother. Widely acclaimed as a genuine wordsmith with an uncanny ear for dialogue and powerfully original storytelling, his body of work also includes retellings of the Oedipus[1] and Faust[2] myths, together with productions of Shakespeare and modern classics.

In 2006 the Noah Bros refugee human rights drama "Massacre of the Innocents"[3] (with award winning television actor Ryan Moloney in a starring role) achieved official selection at the Gold Lion Film Festival.[4] The film was screened in the festival's "Films with a Conscience" category.

This was followed in 2009 by "Little Black Dress";[5] their debut feature set in their hometown of Melbourne (given a characteristically stylish fantasy twist) and starring Sandy Greenwood and Anna Choy.[6]

Their internationally acclaimed follow up “The Fabled Fable”[7] achieved official selection at the International Film Festival of Cinematic Arts, San Antonio Film Festival, Arizona International Film Festival, Costa Rica International Film Festival and AOF International Film Festival.[8]

In 2015 the latest Noah Bros feature, “According to Ben Adams”[9] debuted on the international festival circuit in Toronto[10] and New York.[11] The story of what happens when the devil in a bad mood meets a gentle madman claiming to be Jesus - the film won "Best Actor" (for Bramwell Noah as the Devil) at the ReelHeART International Film and Screenplay Festival[12] and was nominated for "Best Film", "Best of the Festival (Jury Award)", "Best Screenplay" and "Best Actor" at the Hoboken International Film Festival. [13] The production has since been an official selection (or nominated) in seventeen more international film festival events [14] and is also notable as the feature debut of Daniel Schepisi (nephew of iconic Australian director Fred Schepisi) in the title role.[15]

"I, Timon" (the first ever screen version of Shakespeare's Timon Of Athens) completed filming in early 2016 [16] and is scheduled for festival release in 2017. [17]
