Neil Pollner

(He/Him/His)

Screenwriter

Biography

Neil has enjoyed a prolific career as a game writer, with Mass Effect, Star Wars The Old Republic, and (soon) BioShock headlining his credits. The characters and adventures he's created for these storied franchises (and others) are consistent fan favorites, and his ability to organically contribute fresh new ideas to existing IP has been proven time and time again.

He's brought a cinematic sensibility to his game industry exploits, and while he's enjoyed amazing success there, Film and TV is where he belongs. 

As a screenwriter, his projects to-date all have a few things in common -- high-concepts with evergreen marketability, driven by character. His crime action feature Without a Hitch won the 2023 Final Draft Big Break Screenwriting Competition and was named a 2025 Emerging Screenwriters Top 10 Finalist. He'd love nothing more than to see Hitch produced, but his eyes are always on the future. Today, he joins the ISA Development Slate with several new projects afoot and looks to truly break out in 2025 and beyond. 

Neil's not in this for the money or the glamour (just take a look at his profile pic -- that's all the glamour the guy can handle), he just wants to entertain you. See you leave the theater with more pep to your step. Maybe with a tear in your eye, or cheeks sore from smiling, or aftershocks of laughter rippling through your belly. In other words, he comes cheap and no frills with a tireless passion for storytelling and an unquenchable appetite for audience enjoyment.

So, look him up and say hello -- hire the guy, you won't regret it.
