FILMMAKERS

MORGAN NEVILLE - DIRECTOR
Morgan Neville is an award-winning documentary filmmaker who specializes in cultural subjects. Through a series on films on important musical topics (including The Brill Building, Sun Records, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, Brian Wilson, Leiber & Stoller, James Brown and Burt Bacharach), Neville has sought to document the stories of songwriters and producers who helped shape 20th century music. Neville has been nominated for three Grammys for his music films: RESPECT YOURSELF: THE STAX RECORDS STORY and MUDDY WATERS: CAN'T BE SATISFIED, JOHNNY CASH'S AMERICA and won an Emmy for HANK WILLIAMS: HONKY TONK BLUES. Neville's non-music films include THE COOL SCHOOL and SHOTGUN FREEWAY: DRIVES THRU LOST L.A.. Next, Neville is working on two films, one about the 1968 televised debates between Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley and another about the work and influence of mystery writer Raymond Chandler.
