Reared by a blue-collar family, screenwriter/producer, C. Neil Davenport develops award-winning stories about entrepreneurial underdogs who shoot for the stars while the world holds them down. His work inspires the pursuit of success and examines the essence of hope.
Neil has two produced features, Camp Hideout (2023) and Bryn Gets a Life (2021) as well he has three films in development, Eight Years, All In and Vultures. He has a Master of Fine Arts in screenwriting from the University of North Carolina, a Bachelor of Arts in Communication, Humanities & Social Sciences from Augusta University and an Associate Degree in Paralegalism from the University of North Florida.
Neil believes in the power of community. He sees filmmaking as a piece of art which can only be achieved through the collective act of many talented people in pursuit of a singular goal and as a business venture, he seeks opportunities that will help those creatives excel in their craft. Building a film is a commutative endeavor and it's only through the success of the community that true accomplishment can be realized.
