Neil Alexander Collier is a Pulitzer, Emmy, and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker and journalist whose work spans two decades and 30 countries.
He built his foundation in visual storytelling at the BBC in London before producing on the front lines with Al Jazeera during the Arab Spring. He went on to work on films for VICE, HBO, and The New York Times, with a sustained focus on the Middle East and Latin America.
His documentary So They Know We Existed (2021), which he produced and directed for The New York Times, earned a Peabody Award for its portrait of life in Gaza. He expanded his canvas with Scout Master (2022), a feature documentary investigating a triple murder that shook a small Arkansas community in 1997 — the first feature-length production in Al Jazeera's Fault Lines series, which premiered at the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival. In 2024, he was part of the New York Times team awarded the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting and in 2025, he received an Emmy Award for his reporting on Gaza.
He now leads Fireside Studios.
