Biography

Raised in what can best be described as a pothole in the highway outside Portland, Oregon, Neil’s obsession with film began when he witnessed the climax of Raiders of the Lost Ark at age three and realized the power of cinematic face-melting. A graduate of the USC School of Cinema-Television, his short film Thorns went on to earn international recognition at the Strasbourg Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best LGBT Character. He currently rocks a flip-phone in the Los Angeles area. The Thin Line marks his feature-film debut.
