Noel Kok

Noel Kok is a director, creative and storyteller who has a passion for natural history and African conservation stories. After the realisation of pushing a false dream, Noel dropped out of university from studying a law degree.
With over 25 years of experience in management, marketing, music and media production, Noel has produced, directed and distributed a number of albums’, live shows, documentary shorts as well as a conservation TV series.
Whilst his strength lies in conceptualising ideas and storytelling, Noel discovered that he had a passion for the development of people. Years later, and determined to transform the film industry, particularly in nature, environment and wildlife, Noel has a keen interest in developing emerging filmmakers, creating opportunities and unlocking barriers to entry.
Still developing and producing in the natural history and conservation genre, Noel is the co-founder and Executive Director of Nature, Environment & Wildlife Filmmakers (NEWF), an organisation dedicated to discovering and supporting Africa's next generation of storyteller’s impacting conservation through film.
