Noël Day Bishop

Freelance Creative 

Filmmaker

I am a Judge for Narrative Feature category at the Anchorage International Film Festival (AIFF), going on 5 years now. After meeting festival director Ida Myklebost at the New York Short Film Festival 2018, where she premiered her first short film, Ida invited me to be a panel judge for her festival, AIFF.

Every year I have the opportunity to screen and score around 10 films a season, bringing my film education, production background, and discerning eye to judge the best of the submissions.
It's an honor to be a contributing member to this festival, and keep independent film alive!

A little bit more around my background; I am a freelance creative with over 300 projects under my belt; narratives and documentaries, promos, commercials, web series, and music videos. I have worked in a variety of roles including Director, Producer, Assistant Director and Film Festival Producer/Director.

I have produced content for large-scale projects with clients including Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, A&E, Vimeo, EMI Music, Ultra Records, Blueman Group, and Walmart, to name a few. (Check the VIDEO PRODUCTION tab to view some of the work I have access to.)

In addition, I've worked on countless independent productions for short and feature films. For example, I Associate Produced Three Holes and a Smoking Gun (2015), my first independent feature film which gained distribution after screening at notable film festivals such as SXSW and Cannes.

I was the Producer and Director of the New York Short Film Festival, a successful Manhattan-based festival dedicated to short films. This festival allowed me to continue pursuing my love of Producing and Directing within the Events-space, as well as interact and showcase the work of my fellow filmmakers from all over the world. Find more at newyorkshort.com and the FILM FESTIVALS tab.

After I was diagnosed with a seizure disorder and a rare brain tumor just 2 years after graduating film school, I wrote and directed My Aura's Echo (2013), an autobiographical short based on that arduous journey. (Please see the VIDEO PRODUCTION tab > SHORT FILMS for the link to watch this film, as well as many others I've made.) 

Model

Modeling is one of my newer pursuits, but I've attacked it with my characteristic enthusiasm and devotion. Always one to question unreasonable social-norms,  I'm pursuing the modeling sector of "Plus-Size". With recent successes like the Dove "Real Beauty" campaign, high fashion magazine Vogue Italia  2011 cover featuring three plus-sized models, and super model Ashley Graham being the first plus sized model to grace Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover and center edition 2016 I'm confident this is the future of the industry, and I'm excited to be a part of that change. Please look under the MODEL tab for some examples of work I've done as a model in the past 10 years.
