Focus on Ability Film Festival
Dane Noonan
Filmmaker • Australia
My name is Dane Noonan and I am an emerging filmmaker proudly part of the disability and queer communities, telling stories from lived experience, with heart, honesty and a sprinkle of wackiness. I have been working as an actor for the past decade and my most recent credits include Time Bandits, where I can be seen with wings, and The Golden Ticket, a futuristic game competition inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, set to premiere on Netflix in 2026. Over the past three years, I have also collaborated with Bus Stop Films, supporting and creating inclusive filmmaking opportunities alongside their students. This work is dear to my heart as I have a deep passion for advocacy, authentic representation and meaningful storytelling in front and behind the camera.
When I'm not creating you will probably find me walking my rabbit, two dogs with my fiancé or dancing around in my house in 3-inch heels, singing to nostalgic pop songs!
