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.
From the Judges, on The Thin Line (2019)
From the Judges, on The Thin Line
The writing drew real admiration here, sharp and modern in its handling of the push and pull between its two central characters. Animated interludes give the storytelling a playful lift, and the humour lands with an easy confidence that carried the panel through a feature-length runtime without a sag. Multifaceted and compelling, it struck them as the kind of film they would happily buy a cinema ticket for.
