Howard Donnell is a writer, producer, and director who tells stories as a way of making sense of the world. His work blends the intimacy of lived experience with the craft of cinema, creating films that speak to the heart and linger long after the credits roll.

His path has taken him from Hollywood film sets to classrooms in China, from small-town theaters to international collaborations. Whether writing, producing, or directing, he is drawn to characters who feel real — flawed, complex, and worth caring about.

He founded Narragate Entertainment on the belief that a good story can bridge distances and invite connection. The company develops films built for audiences who value authenticity and emotional resonance, while also positioning them for festivals, streaming, and theatrical release.

If his work finds you, he hopes it feels like a story worth carrying with you.
