Candice Napoleone is a Toronto-based film and commercial producer.
She began her career supporting artists at the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre (CFMDC) as the Membership and Acquisitions Coordinator, where her interest in working closely with filmmakers first developed. After leaving the CFMDC, she went on to work in-house at production companies within the documentary and commercial film spaces, learning the nuances and structure of those workflows. She is also an alumni producer of the MVP Project and has produced music videos for various artists, including Charlotte Day Wilson and Adria Kain.

She served as Associate Producer on the debut feature of Director Graham Foy, The Maiden, (premiere at the 2022 Venice International Film Festival, Giornate degli Autori) and most recently acted as Producer on Director Kazik Radwanski's 4th feature film Matt and Mara, which premiered at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival in the Encounters competitive section.
Within the commercial space, she has worked for production companies such as Smuggler, CANADA, Object + Animal, Radiokativefilm, Sanctuary, ANIMALS, Merchant, Eleanor and Soft Citizen along with various ad agencies like FCB, Grey, Arnold, Leo Burnett, Wieden + Kennedy, Anomaly and Goodby Silverstein & Partners.
