As a writer-director, Ned’s character-driven films show us that the most intimate and personal stories can also be told in the biggest and most cinematic ways.

Whether it’s a Marvel superhero, played by Scarlett Johansson, reconnecting with her estranged adoptive family in the blockbuster Black Widow, which Ned wrote, or a married couple portrayed by Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy, struggling to stay together, presented across three separate films with different points of view in the dramatic triptych, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Her, Him and Them, all of which Ned wrote and directed, and as a trilogy premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. 

Ned most recently directed The Greatest Hits premiered at SXSW. The film is about unconditional love, the connection between music and memory and how songs can transport us, sometimes quite literally, through space and time.   

As a commercial director, Ned’s unique ability to anchor innovative visuals to stirring emotional experiences can be seen – and felt – across his campaigns, such as his work for Cadillac, celebrating the identity, history and integrity of the storied brand, and what it means to sit behind the wheel of one of their cars. Ned has helmed campaigns for Infiniti, featuring NBA star Steph Curry, and for the Creative Spirit program.
