Filmmaker

The Resume

    (May 25, 1970- )
    Wrote and directed the film 'Dog Soldiers (2002)'
    Co-wrote 'Killing Time (1998)'

Why he might be annoying:

    He has an obsession with soldiers and the army (probably due to his father's time in the service).
    His first film was a soldier related short.
    His attempt at raising funds for his first film was pathetic, raising only £5000 and leaving him £2.5 million short. Many production companies thought they would be competing with the Canadian werewolf film released around the same time, 'Ginger Snaps (2000).'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is an inspiration to other hopeful film makers, having to work his way from film school to where he is now.
    He is a big horror fan, but stated that he thought many werewolf films were flawed, so he set out to make his ultimate werewolf film and managed to fulfil his dream.
    He released his film 'Dog Soldiers' (which is heavily concerned with war) in the face of the looming war in Iraq, refusing to bow to protesters demands.
    Critics have cited his first feature film as 'the best British horror film in years' and Neil himself is being hailed as the British answer to Spielberg.
    He coined the term 'bone,' meaning 'of bad quality,' used to describe a situation.
    He won the Golden Raven at the 2002 Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film.
    He won the Grand Prize of European Fantasy Film in Silver at the 2002 Cinénygma - Luxembourg International Film Festival.
