Mark McNeill
Mark McNeill has been making documentaries for over 20 years. En route he has shown a knack for offbeat factual programming, including varied shows featuring psychologist Nigel Latta. In 1999 McNeill launched Razor Films. The company's CV includes I Am the River and the acclaimed Why Am I? The Science of Us. With Dark Tourist in 2018, McNeill and Carthew Neal became the first Kiwi producers to make a series for Netflix.
Mark McNeill makes TV the way Steven Seagal fights Tommy Lee Jones with a knife in Under Seige: the pointy end goes right in the brain. His production company, Razor Films, tends to produce TV that seeks to dig deep in your grey matter, exploring and illuminating new ideas or dropping bits of science that will drop your jaw.
