Neil Alexander Collier is a Pulitzer, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning director, producer and polyglot who views all storytelling as an act of translation — between cultures, languages, and technologies. His work spans two decades and 30 countries, rooted in a childhood curiosity for drawing, film, and literature.
He built his visual foundation at the BBC before producing on the front lines with Al Jazeera. He then went on to work on projects across the world for VICE, HBO, and The New York Times, with a particular focus on Latin America and the Middle East. His commitment to humanizing the human cost of conflict earned him a 2021 Peabody Award and a 2025 Emmy Award for his work in Gaza. He was a member of the New York Times team awarded the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting.
He currently leads Fireside Studios, a production house dedicated to character-driven storytelling across scripted and unscripted narrative, with a focus on the intersection of human experience and emerging frontiers in science and technology.
