Award-winning filmmakers Marjan Tehrani and Gabriel Noble came together circa 2006 to produce the feature documentary, P-Star Rising. At their Tribeca premiere, they were approached by Edelman PR for their first branded series, and Tru Films was born.
Next came the wedding. Two kids. And two+ decades of production around the globe. Tehrani & Noble are MARRIED TO THE GAME.
They are at the helm of every production, leading with empathy, not ego. Their sets are diverse, collaborative, and genuinely fun. They assemble the right team for every project—from lean vérité crews to full-scale productions—always matching scope without sacrificing intimacy or aesthetics.
They believe in thorough pre-production, which allows for a seamless production process and a final product that reaches it’s full potential. That said, they remain flexible and adapt to the inherit spontaneity of the moment. This, they believe, is where movie magic is made.
Gabriel Noble
Gabriel’s career started young, as a child actor with a passion for the stage. It was at UCLA’s school for theater , film & television that he made the pivot behind the scenes as a director, and made his way to NYC. His first feature documentary told the story of a precocious 3-year. old girl who loses her teenage mother to the prison system. This same commitment to authentic storytelling is apparent in his work today, whether it is a doc series, commercial, branded content or PSA. As journalist Katie Couric’s short format producer, he honed his interview skills, and has worked with luminaries such as Larry David, Lupita N’Longo, and President Carter, among many real people doing extraordinary things.

Marjan Tehrani
Marjan grew up between many colorful cultures. Her childhood backdrops were race tracks, hospital visiting rooms, Persian BBQ’s and epic sunsets in the Bay Area. I have a deep love for connecting with people and capturing rich, captivating stories that are full of emotion and truth and making connections that last beyond the frame.
