Director · Producer · Cinematographer · Editor

I'm Chris Neal.

I've been directing product videos from concept to final delivery for 15 years.

I've led crews of 20+ and run lean run & gun shoots with just myself.

I shoot, edit, do motion graphics, color, and sound — and I know when to bring in a talented DP or designer to take things further.

I take complex ideas and turn them into simple, human stories that connect. Take a look.
