Neal Mercier is an independent filmmaker and visual media artist based in Southern New England. A lifelong lover of cinema, he spent much of his adolescence with friends attempting to make movies with an old tape-based Sony Handycam. While his primary interest remains fictional storytelling, his work spans both format and genre.

In 2014, Neal began operating under the moniker Huxley Pictures, and since 2016 he has expanded the name outwards to produce a combination of personal, commercial, and freelance work. A Rhode Island native, Neal holds a B.A. in Mathematics with minors in both Film and Writing from Providence College and an M.F.A. in Film & Media Art from Emerson College.
