New production company Neighbour launches with a global network and a local spirit.
Founded by Chris Connell and Giorgio Bruni, Neighbour partners with agencies, brands, studios, broadcasters and rights holders to make films, commercials and original content that travels globally but feels authentic wherever it lands.
Between them, the founders have produced work in more than fifty countries, partnering with like-minded production houses who share their standards, values and spirit - a global 'Neighbourhood' of producers, fixers and crew who make the impossible feel effortless.
A brief comes from somewhere - the talent, the club, the story is usually somewhere else. That's where the Neighbourhood comes in: people Neighbour knows and trusts on the ground, so a shoot on the other side of the world runs as smoothly as one on the doorstep.
Sport has been at the core of Connell and Bruni's work throughout their careers. Not just the action, but the people, style, emotion and energy that make it resonate. That perspective shapes everything Neighbour does.
Sport is its own discipline. The talent gives you minutes, not hours. The location isn't a choice, it's wherever the player happens to be. Multiple stakeholders need to sign off. Neighbour adapts on the day, and coaxes performances from professional athletes.
None of that is a problem when you've done it before. Every department head Neighbour works with - Directors, DOPs, 1st ADs, Production Designers, is hand-picked. They bring good energy to set and move fast without ever trading away the quality.
"The production world doesn't need another vendor. It needs a Neighbour," said Connell, Producer and Co-Founder. "We built Neighbour to stand beside clients and talent from first thought to final delivery, bringing warmth to business and discipline to creativity. Our job is turning chaos into clarity, and deadlines into wins."
"We thrive where culture lives," added Bruni, Creative Director and Co-Founder. "One day it's a high-velocity sports commercial, the next it's a narrative film that needs restraint. Neighbour moves fast with the right people for the job, anywhere in the world, elevating the creative wherever we find it." No fuss, no ego - just great work with good people.
