Neil Chordia is an independent film producer and the founder of ChorMedia.

In 2008 he co-founded the film production company Eclipse Films, which was later incorporated into the Eclipse Global Entertainment group of which he was also a founding partner and director. While at Eclipse, Chordia developed a slate of feature films and produced Michael Caton-Jones’s URBAN HYMN, starring Shirley Henderson and Ian Hart. Chordia left the company in late 2014 to set up ChorMedia.

Before co-founding Eclipse, Chordia was an Associate Producer at Marion Pilowsky and Colin Leventhal’s Priority Pictures. At Priority, Chordia was responsible for reviewing and creating all production materials for Priority’s slate including budget, schedules and financing and recoupment plans.

Amongst the titles Chordia helped produce were Kenneth Branagh’s SLEUTH starring Michael Caine and Jude Law, NINA’S HEAVENLY DELIGHTS starring Laura Fraser and Art Malik and THE ALL TOGETHER starring Martin Freeman and Danny Dyer.

During this time Chordia was responsible for all DCMS submissions and in ensuring co-productions met their minimum spend criteria.
