Noomi Yates

My directorial voice is clear and distinctive; I tell stories that champion female and LGBTQ+ empowerment, fight injustice and look to change the world for the better. My body of work includes scripted and unscripted, TV commercials, branded docs and music videos. Despite the broadness of my portfolio, the common thematic component that ties my work together remains; consequently I only work with brands that align with my values. In 2021 I wrote and directed a horror short ‘Only Yourself To Blame’ about the violence of hyper-vigilance. I believe this work accurately demonstrates my current skills as an artist and visual storyteller. Following the success of the project (most notably screening at BFI London Film Festival, 2023), I have engaged in productive discussions with esteemed organisations such as Film4 and Independent. My first feature film script has been optioned by EPIK pictures, and I am in currently seeking to find work in scripted, long form storytelling. Either directing audio, TV, or film.
