Director Terence Neale, who is based in South Africa where he continues to work via Egg Films, has secured U.S. and U.K. representation, joining RSA and Black Dog for commercials/branded content and music videos, respectively.
Through Egg Films, Neale has directed commercials for such brands as KFC, Nandos and Nedbank. Last year his darkly humored Chicken Licken Slyders’ commercial “Orphanage” for Net#work BBDO, Johannesburg, earned inclusion in SHOOT’s “The Best Work You May Never See” gallery.
Neale’s signature bold visual aesthetic naturally gave way to branching out into directing music videos for Die Antwoord (“Baby’s On Fire,” “Fatty Boom Boom”) and Skrillex (“Ragga Bomb”).
Neale was born and raised in Johannesburg, and currently lives in Cape Town. He began his career interning at production companies and creating behind-the-scenes videos for MTV. Shortly thereafter, he partnered with a few friends to form the production company Humanoid before signing to Egg Films and launching his career as a global commercial and music video director.
