What It’s All About —

Noam grew up in an apartment outside of Disney World after immigrating to the US. Her films often center on unlikely heroes who defy stereotypes, examining issues of identity through intimate relationships. No matter the project, she is driven by unassuming people doing the unique and incredible. Noam is based in Brooklyn and collaborates with her much cooler, LA-based, “baby” sister - Sappir Argov.

“The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we put these stories in each other’s memory. This is how people care for themselves.”
