What NEER does
NEER is a privately held artist agency founded in 2018 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, that represents a curated roster of approximately 18 cinematographers, directors, and director/DPs working across advertising, entertainment, music, film, and television. The agency markets itself as artist-first and relationship-driven, connecting represented talent with brands, agencies, and production teams globally from bases in LA, NY, Canada, LATAM, and Europe. Its client base includes named enterprise buyers such as Netflix, HBO, Amazon, Apple, Chanel, Nike, Louis Vuitton, BMW, Cadillac, Maybelline, Beyonce, and Spotify, spanning fashion/luxury, beauty, technology, automotive, sports, and music video work.
NEER generates revenue through commission-based representation: when a represented artist is booked on a project, the agency earns a percentage of the project fee. Pricing is quote-based and handled via direct email inquiry ([email protected] for clients, [email protected] for prospective artists), with no public pricing disclosure. The operating model is intentionally boutique, with 1-10 employees and an emphasis on curated roster quality rather than scale. NEER supplements its representation business with sub-brands including Neer Notes (a blog and podcast platform), NEER Films (narrative film production), and NEER POST (post-production services), giving the agency some vertical reach into adjacent service revenue.
The company's core technology footprint is conventional for a modern creative agency: a website (neermotion.com), a Vimeo channel, a podcast feed (The Wandering DP), a blog (Neer Notes), and active accounts on Instagram and LinkedIn. There are no proprietary software products, no APIs, no SDKs, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities in the data. The managing partner is Chandra Feltus, and the company has no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or acquisition history.
