George Nolfi is an American filmmaker. He made his directorial debut in 2011 with sci-fi action, romance thriller, The Adjustment Bureau starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt.
Nolfi's work has been known to blend genres and employ tones ranging from serious to comedic. His stories often have protagonists who are exceptional at what they do; touch on central themes of philosophy, the human condition or world politics; and convey some form of social commentary.
Nolfi directed and co-wrote The Banker (2020), starring Anthony Mackie and Samuel L. Jackson. The passion project, based on a true story, brought public awareness to two African American businessmen, heroes of their time, and to their endeavors to overcome racism and redlining. The film has been widely praised, particularly among the black community. It continues to be used as an educational tool and to delve into deeper conversations on redlining, business, real estate, and generational wealth. In March 2021, The Banker won Outstanding Independent Motion Picture at the 52nd NAACP Image Awards.
