Quotes from friends, colleagues and family...
"I've had the pleasure of
working with Angelo Bell on six films now, and every experience has
been richer than the last. As a composer, I look for directors that
have passion for their work, and care about how the score fits with
their film. In Angelo I get it in spades. His work ethic and drive
are inspiring, and his professionalism rubs off on the entire cast
and crew. Some of the best music I've ever written has come out of
our collaborations, and I look forward to seeing every film he
produces as both a viewer and composer. It's been an honor to work
with him and watch him grow as a filmmaker, and I look forward to
spending many more years as a part of his team."
"In the brief time I have come to know Angelo I can best
describe [him] as driven, a talented filmmaker who is a passionate
visionary"
"Angelo has an incredible amount
of passion and drive for filmmaking. His enthusiasm
is contagious and can get anyone excited about a project. He allows
the creativity of his actors to shine and encourages everyone on
set. He is so fun to work with!"
"Angelo is a great guy to work
with. Fast, efficient, professional, and fun describe working on
and off set with him. I look forward to working with him again in
the near future."
"I've worked
with 14 directors so far in my young career (numerous other film
school student directors as well) and have been surprised, shocked,
ignored and/or offended by several, but have also been encouraged,
inspired, impressed and blown away by a few as well. Angelo "AJ"
Bell most definitely falls into the second category of directors.
He is patient (beyond expectation), encouraging, collaborative and
always gets the most amazing performances out of his actors. Like
that one awesome high school teacher we all had, Angelo is the
quintessential leader/mentor on set. Taking a hard stand on mutual
respect in the work place, his shoots have a calm and precision to
them that is rarely seen in this business. At the completion of
your first production with AJ you will have not only made a new
industry relationship, but gained a friend as well. I have been
fortunate enough to work on several projects with Angelo. We have
this running joke, something I say on introductions at every table
read "I will never say "no" to you", and I never have. I consider
Angelo a dear friend now and his growing career has been a pleasure
to follow"
"Angelo Bell is as diamond in the rough. I had the pleasure of
working with him on Broken Hearts Club and was touched by an
extremely talented individual. Angelo captures the human spirit in
such an authentic voice with his writing and has a special gift of
communicating with actors. He is able to breath life into the
characters through his directing. [In my experience] everyone
collaborating on set had utmost respect for his work. He is a man
who knows what he wants and makes it happen. It's only a matter of
time when the rest of the industry will know [him]."
"I had a great time working with Angelo Bell, being on
set was a wonderful experience. He is the type of director who
creates an atmosphere that supports the actor and allows him/her the
freedom to create. I would love to work with Angelo again."
"Angelo is a source of
inspiration and strength to his actors and
crew. He always stays cool under pressure, is very organized,
detail-oriented, focused, personable, and of course, talented. We
all
expect more great things to come from him."
"I
loved working with Angelo on the film Broken Hearts Club. He
effortlessly helped bring out my best performance in every
scene...he's the kind of director I want directing me."
"I've had the
pleasure to work alongside Angelo both as a colleague and as a crew
member on his films [for several years]. On thing remains true about
Angelo and it is that he is always enthusiastic about the films he
is making, he cares for his actors and crew, and he knows what he
wants and sees the finished product through to the end. He is an
extremely dedicated worker to the craft of filmmaking. As hard as
the industry is, he makes it look easy and makes anyone not involved
in it want to be in it. That's real movie magic!"
“Angelo- I loved
working with you on ‘Broken Hearts Club’! It was such a gift to
know you weren’t always married to the pages, and that sometimes if
a scene took on a life of its own you not only allowed it, but
cherished & nurtured it! That was such an incentive as an actor to
bring everything and let it run wild on your “Action!” Thanks for
all your gifts. I look forward to working together more!” XOXO
"A.B. is a knowledged &
valuable entity in the community of storytelling. bringing out the
best of my performance abilities through his direction, he's found a
team player for the duration of his career." Continue the path of
greatness, A.B.!
"Angelo is by far one of
the coolest cats directing today. He gives his actors subtle clues
about how he wants something done and is very careful about giving
too little or too much praise. A joy to work with from start to
finish and I hope to see his name right up their with the Spike's,
the John's and the Coen's. Real talk."
