James Lipton and the Actors Studio did it for fun with the actors…..Now, I’m doing it for fun with the writers.
29 year old, Noelle Carbone has one of the best jobs in the world. How did she get there? With a whole lot of talent, and a little bit of luck. Born in Windsor, Ontario, Noelle’s job almost seems inevitable. Having graduated from the University of Western Ontario, Noelle decided to enroll in a summer screenwriting workshop at Humber College.
It was here that she met Professor Donna O’Brien-Sokic. With much encouragement, and demonstrating endless hard work, Noelle went on to complete a further three years in Humber’s film and television programme.
During this time, Noelle made many friends and contacts and in her third year at Humber, she landed an internship with Capri Films Inc. While here, Noelle was introduced to Ilana Frank, President of Thump Inc & Norstar Filmed Entertainment Inc… and landed the job of a lifetime as Ilana’s development Executive for ABC’s hit Canadian television series, ‘Rookie Blue’.
Ironically, the day before Rookie Blue aired, Noelle was out with two off-duty police friends when a couple of shoplifters tried to leave a convenience store with a back pack full of unpaid goods. The officers leapt into action and apprehended one of the suspects.
Now a writer & executive story editor on the show, which is now heading for its third season, having friends like these has its benefits – and real-life ideas. Click here for a behind the scenes look at the show.

Hi Noelle, Donna.
Interesting stuff. I was going to ask about moving to that gloomy place in the north on England, but then I clicked the link and discovered there are other places called Humber 🙂
I’ve never reard a raccoon fight, I’ll have to search you tube and expand my meager education on animal fight noises. But I have seen a pencil skirt, and before I get my self in trouble I’ll just say, what could be more appropriate for a writer?
Cheers!

I think I may join your interest in the raccoon fight. I wonder if there’s one on YouTube?
