Chris Neil

For Chris Neil, storytelling isn't just a profession, it's a family way of life. As a nephew of Francis Coppola, Chris' upbringing was a bit more colorful and eclectic than most.

Growing up on the sets of his uncle's films, Chris was conditioned to become an unapologetic artist. His family's tradition of celebrating creativity and expression led him to follow his passion, and to let the story lead him.

Aside from a successful film career spanning 12 years, Chris has gained recognition for his strong body of work as a commercial director. He's created memorable ads for Volkswagen, Levis, Ricoh, Canon, StubHub, Buy.com, and Spot Runner. His work has been recognized by the AICP.

Chris brings with him a lifetime of creative work that not only informs who he is as a person, but as a director.
