Neil is a documentary cameraman, a proud dad and a very curious traveler. He grew up in Hong Kong, went to University in Scotland and has gotten profoundly lost on all 5 continents. He has worked on 60 films, travelling through 40 countries, looking for the answer to the big mystery: Why do we do what we do?
The search goes on. . .
His work has been shown on National Geographic, BBC, HBO, CNN films, Discovery, Smithsonian and PBS. His feature docs have been shown at Sundance, Tribeca, Toronto and Silverdocs. His work has won an Emmy, The Edward R Murrow award, an Oscar nomination, a DuPont Columbia award and most memorably a short stay in a Bolivian jail.
He lives in Washington DC with his partner, Julia Cohen, and young daughter Helena. He bottles up some of her energy every day and releases it when needed on interesting shoots. . .
