Edward Noeltner
Edward Noeltner’s been around the movie block—like, a lot. The guy’s practically a legend in international film circles, and honestly, his resume reads like a highlight reel of cinema’s coolest moments. He’s the dude who helped bring Oscar magnets like "Chicago," "Frida," and "The Hours" to audiences worldwide. And he’s not just about the big, glossy stuff—he’s got a thing for arthouse gems, too: think "Faithless," "Under The Sun," "Tango." Oh, and he’s wrangled some of the most iconic film libraries out there, like Ingmar Bergman’s entire collection and a bunch of Buster Keaton classics. That’s some serious film geek street cred.
Edward’s been the go-to guy for heavyweights like Lionsgate, Samuel Goldwyn Films, Pathé, and a laundry list of European powerhouses. TV execs love him too—Showtime, Canal Plus, BSkyB, all those folks. He’s been mixing it up in the business for over two decades, cutting deals left and right, making sure movies actually get in front of eyeballs across the globe. Lately, he even dipped into animation, co-exec producing a whole animated series for DVD and TV. Guy’s got range.
His job titles? Take your pick. President of Senator International in Berlin, Head of TV at Pandora Cinema in Paris, SVP at Svensk Filmindustri, Head of Sales at Miramax International in New York, and now he’s running the show at Cinema Management Group in LA. Oh, and he’s got a master’s from USC Cinema, plus he’s trilingual. Some people just collect stamps—Edward collects entire film industries.
