Dandy Noel
Author. Filmmaker. Narrative-driven creator building story worlds rooted in lived experience, healing, and human truth.
I work in memoir, film, and immersive projects. My journey began with Luna Court, a published memoir now in film development, and continues into community-based narrative and wellness work.
Each project is part of a larger creative ecosystem designed to move from page → screen → shared human experience.
Debut book from Dandy Noel is available NOW!
“In Luna Court, Dandy Noel skillfully guides you down a path of exploration, pain, courage, and resilience. Discover the healing journey of self-discovery, resolve, and the acceptance to love people for who they are rather than who we want or need them to be.”

The journey that opened
the doorway
You might say Dandy’s pursuit of healing can be traced to many moments — experiences of absence and loss, a cross-country journey, and moments that altered how she understood herself and the world.
But healing isn’t about where it starts or where it leads. It’s an invitation — one that meets each of us in our own time.
An extraordinary true story rooted in the West Coast grunge and alternative music scenes of the early ’90s, Luna Courtfollows two teenage girls on a cross-country journey that quietly reshapes their lives.
Carried by music, friendship, and the search for belonging, the story holds a message of hope that took thirty years to fully reveal itself.
You could be among the first to experience it.
THE BOOK
Getting the story on the page…
THE MOVIE
… and onto the big screen
Dandy’s life’s work is rooted in the belief that storytelling can reveal our shared humanity — that through story, we discover we are not alone. The inherently cinematic nature of her journey makes Luna Court a story meant to be experienced on screen.
We are all worthy of wholeness and healing.
Imagine a space rooted in unconditional comfort, rest, and refuge — created for those navigating the lasting effects of trauma with courage and care. The To Us, Love You (TULY) Wellness Center is envisioned as a safe and welcoming place for all, not only for those who can afford access to healing.
Designed as a world-class yet deeply human retreat, the center will offer restorative practices such as meditation, yoga, and quiet reflection, supporting each guest’s individual path toward balance and renewal.
Our hope is simple: to offer respite within these walls, and to invite deeper connection with who people have always been beneath the weight of their experiences.
THE WELLNESS CENTER
Bringing it all together
Honoring other voices:
To Us, Love You
Writing about trauma helps us rediscover ourselves. Through story, we create meaning — opening into a larger understanding of who we are and why we’re here.
To Us, Love You is a collection of stories rooted in hope, trauma, and resilience. It is also an open invitation: a shared movement toward healing, mental wellness, and the courage to add your voice.
