Noel Marshall

Noel Marshall, a daring filmmaker who dared to tread where others wouldn't. Born in 1931 in Chicago, USA, he was active in the film industry primarily during the 1960s and 1970s, making his mark in the adventure and thriller genres. Marshall is most famous for his controversial film "Roar" (1981), notorious for its extensive use of real, untrained wild animals, which despite its lack of significant awards, continues to intrigue and shock audiences. While Marshall's authorial style is marked by a daring, almost reckless, approach to realism and authenticity, it is tempered by a clear passion for storytelling and cinema. Above all, Noel Marshall was a maverick filmmaker who wasn't afraid to break conventions, even if it meant literally stepping into the lion's den.
