NEIL MACHLIS (Executive Producer) has been one of the film industry's busiest producers during a career spanning more than 30 years. He has collaborated a number of times with director Mike Nichols, serving as a producer or executive producer on Nichols' films “What Planet Are You From?,” “Primary Colors,” “The Birdcage,” “Postcard From the Edge” and “Wolf.” Machlis' additional credits as an executive producer include “Dr. Dolittle 2,” “Bedazzled,” “Flawless,” “Honeymoon in Vegas,” “Chances Are” and “Planes, Trains and Automobiles.” He most recently executive produced the family hit “Garfield: The Movie,” which combined live action and animation.
Born and raised in Belle Harbor, New York, Machlis earned a B.A. degree from American University, and he began his film career at Astra Films in Washington, D.C. During the social unrest of the late `60s, Machlis found himself at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago filming commentary for the U.S. Senate during that seminal period in history.
The following year, Machlis moved back to New York and entered the Directors Guild of America's training program, becoming one of only ten trainees accepted from more than 1,500 applicants. After graduating from the program, he began his career working on such films as “Lenny” and the original “The Stepford Wives.”
Machlis' early credits also include working as an associate producer or unit production manager on such films as “Grease,” “American Gigolo,” “Johnny Dangerously,” “Mommie Dearest” and “Cujo.”
