Joseph Novoa

José Ramón Novoa, known as Joseph Novoa, was born in Montevideo and came to cinema through the theatre: he began at El Teatro Circular, studied in France under Jacques Lecoq and worked in Denmark with Eugenio Barba, at the Odin Teatret. In Paris he founded a theatre group. Settled in Venezuela, he directed two international theatre festivals there, then studied film and television at New York University and the New School. His wife, the producer and director Elia Schneider, produced six of his films until his death, in Los Angeles; their son Joel is also a director.
