Born in 1999, in The Netherlands, Naomi Noir is a Dutch writer, director, and animator. Her often absurdist works blend witty linguistics with raw linework, providing a surreal snapshot of the inner worlds of her unique characters. Her films draw inspiration from pub tales, reality television, and the painful topics most of us avoid. Naomi's award-winning film, Mother’s Child, lays bare the everyday intricacies of having an adult child with special needs.
