It’s been a busy summer for da plumbers!

Chris Neil is now available for directing gigs through Frank, and that is good news for all.

For Chris, filmmaking isn’t just a profession, it’s a family way of life. Growing up on the sets of his uncle’s (Francis Coppola) films, Chris was exposed to the passion inherent in great films and the tenacity required to make them. He learned a great deal from his creative collaborations, and carried many of his lessons into his own career. But it is his fierce loyalty to both his vision and his story that are Chris’s own.

Chris began working with actors professionally in the mid 90s on Coppola’s JACK and THE RAINMAKER. He later went on to shepherd both Sofia Coppola and brother Roman’s feature film debuts, THE VIRGIN SUICIDES and CQ (on which he also served as 2nd Unit Director). His commanding work on those projects lead to hires on other films including MARIE ANTOINETTE, THUMBSUCKER, STAR WARS EPISODE III, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ADAPTATION. Chris recently wrapped work on the films, HESHER and PRIEST, and re-teamed with Sofia on her latest, SOMEWHERE. In addition to his work on feature films, Chris has also gained recognition as a commercial director, creating spots for global brands Volkswagen, T-Mobile, Levis, StubHub.com, and Canon.

Bring on the videos and spots, Chris will unclog all the issues you have and deliver some fine films for ya!

Thank you.

In many ways it’s a bit sad for us plumbers to have fully cleared out of the Tree House in Laurel Canyon, but we’re also pretty damn excited to be in this finely piped 100 year old brick building in the heart of Hollywood. Come visit soon!

A few pics for ya.
