TRICIA NOLAN
Writer Director Producer
Veteran writer-producer TRICIA NOLAN has collaborated with numerous acclaimed artists, on inspired and imaginative projects, for over 20 years. Whether a 30-second spot or a full-length feature narrative or documentary, Nolan keenly understands how to tell a great story and how to get these stories made. Nolan’s broad-based experience ranges from series to commercials, shorts to features, and avatars to branded content - including both live-action and animation.
In the late 90s, Nolan was the go-to Line Producer for three of Viacom’s networks: Nickelodeon, MTV and VH1. After a decade of delivering polished, high-quality promos and series on time and under budget, Tricia was tapped to produce and direct the weekly magazine-style series What’s Next! for A&E Networks.
In 2007, Nolan accepted a position as Head of Production and co-EP for bi-coastal Dogmatic, Inc., where she produced, directed and supervised creative development of hugely successful worldwide campaigns for brands such as Nike, Coca-Cola, Armani and Harley-Davidson among others.
Tricia then produced the documentary feature $ellebrity, a provocative look at our celebrity-obsessed culture featuring unfiltered interviews from stars such as Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rosanna Arquette, Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. After premiering at South x Southwest, it was picked up by Showtime and become the most watched documentary in the channel’s history.
Over the years, she has also directed four short films, which have screened at such prestigious festivals as AFI, Seattle, Nantucket and the Hamptons. Her black-comedy, Rattler, won the Jury Award at HBO’s Comedy Arts Festival and was picked up by the Sundance Channel for a two-year exclusive exhibition deal.
Her most recent short, On The Run, was made as a proof of concept for this project. It stars David Arquette and was produced by David Dinerstein, former Head of Marketing for Miramax and co-President of Paramount Pictures.
