Welcome!

My name is Nessa Norich.

I am a director, writer and producer of independent theater and film.

I am an actor, and a performer of drag and comedy.

And I am a creative coach, applying over 20 years of creative practice to support artists, from novice to professional. I apply a versatile creative toolbox to support the creation of imaginative, visceral and impactful stories, through any artistic medium.

Problem-solving, strategizing and collaborating are my love languages.

My most recent project is a short comedic film that I wrote, directed, produced, and starred in called Jelly Bean. The production was awarded a competitive grant from NYFA’s Women in Film Grant. Since its completion in June 2022, Jelly Bean has been recognized with official selection from such notable festivals such as NewFest (NYC), Bushwick Film Festival, Greenwich Village Film Festival, Anchorage International Film Festival, Oslo Fusion (European Premiere), and Rhode Island Film Festival, where I was recognized with the award for Best Actress.

Self-expression and imagination are vital to keeping us healthy as individuals. I am committed to offering support to all people seeking out pathways to express.

Let’s work together!
