Noxon’s feature debut, I Am Number Four, was released in February 2011. The Dreamworks film, which she adapted from the popular novel, stars Alex Pettyfer, Dianna Agron, and Timothy Olyphant. She followed this with Dreamworks’ Fright Night, a reimagining of the classic cult horror film, which opened in August 2011, staring Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell.

She has also acted as consulting producer for Mad Men, Prison Break, Angel and Glee. Current projects include Proof, a scripted pilot project she is co-writing with M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense) that she will also Executive Produce. She is also in talks with Showtime Network to develop a semi-autobiographical half-hour comedy called Guide To Divorce in which she will also be Executive Producer.
Noxon was honored in 2011 with the UCSC Film department’s first ever Alumni Achievement Award, where she was quoted as saying:
“No one can deny that our UCSC experience was life changing, and that today we are successfully working at our craft because of that experience. I personally have not celebrated that pride enough, so I have made a gift to the Arts Excellence Fund to help develop and support the divisional visiting artists project, which also supports scholarships, internships, symposiums and special needs.
I ask only you JOIN ME and MAKE A GIFT. Give what you can. No gift is too small.”
