Award-winning film and music video director, Noah Lee was born in London, and now divides his time between his birthplace and Los Angeles. He has just signed with FRIEND London, joining their commercials and music video roster.

He wrote, directed and edited his first short at the age of 23, and it was subsequently nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at AFI fest.

Lee’s music videos have been heavily featured worldwide and gained enormous credibility online. In 2020, his video Nice to Have for artist 070Shake won the Grand Jury Prize at SXSW. He’s received countless UKMVA nominations, winning the prestigious ‘Best Newcomer’ award in 2016, as well as ‘Best RnB Video’ in 2021. 

Alongside this Lee has garnered five Vimeo ‘Staff-Picks’ with three being named ‘Best of the Month’.

His influence strongly echoes both the ‘video store’ generation of the ‘90s and new wave Italian and French filmmakers of the ‘60s. His compelling use of source light, long one-takes and practical effects separate him as a unique voice and illustrate him as one of the most exciting young filmmakers today.

Luke Jacobs, MD at FRIEND, “It’s an overused phrase, but Noah truly is a visionary filmmaker with the awards to back it up, and we’re thrilled he’s joined FRIEND.”
