That is a stupid compliment. Sorry. No one exactly knows what sort of dream he had for his movies. And it doesn’t help that he is oblivious and doesn’t admit that they’re just bad.
As a young aspiring film maker (I'm 87) Neil Breen has been quite an inspiration. My theatrical release of "I got koodies from my downstairs neighbor" is being released sometime.
I just stumbled on this guy today... and after binge watching as much Neil Breen as humanly possible... I can now say... WTF AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE!!!

Ok so I'm french and the Grand Rex is the place where they screen bad movies.

You'll find - I'll try to make this even briefer - that a lot of people (on the production side and on the distribution side and on the legal side of the film business) who say they are experienced, who say they know all the answers, the more experience you get the more you find out that they /don't/ know all the answers and, in fact, there is thousands of wonderful people out there on the creative side and on the production side - and the distribution side - but there's probably more out there on the other side of the coin who, uh, are people you should stay away from.

He believe in himself. He is happy. He made all these movies with his own money and he finished. I know, it's easy to criticize, but he does what he likes to do and still found his following.

I'm a boom mic operator on Breen's new movie. I can't say too much, but it features Neill as a messianic figure invested with unearthly powers, a convoluted conspiracy, a pool party, and young women taking their tops off and inexplicably becoming sexually attracted to Neil's character.
After hearing about how he personally made and served the food I can only imagine him wearing on his Evil Neil beard and moustache serving cans of tuna to the cast and crew with a straight face.

Neil Breen is easily better than Tommy Wiseau. He’s made 5 full-length feature films that have all been self-funded and they’ve made a profit. There’s the absolutely nonsensical plots that can twist and turn at any given moment and leave you wondering if the popcorn is laced with acid. He makes like six movies in one. Then there is the same stilted, monotone, hesitant delivery of lines that is common in every single character in every single Breen film. There’s the mid scene direction of actors, the overdubbed dialogue. You have the absolutely unnecessary nudity. The facial hair held in place by tape (I’ve never had a beard!), the out of sync punching sounds, the breathing tube OVER the face mask, the ball sack!. The one way phone conversations. The endless desert shots, the Breen screen, the stock footage of the kids, animals and buildings. The expert hacker who’s 6 laptops aren’t even switched on. Eating tuna out of a can whilst driving. The flying Breen. The fake rats next to the homeless dude.

Need I go on? Tommy Wiseau is just more well known because his movies got out into the wider public first but Breen is 100 times better. Oh hey Mark.
I love how for the first chunk of this video, he spends 10 minutes desperately assuring his audience that he's a legitimate Hollywood-tier filmmaker, and that the only thing separating him from them is not making them in Hollywood. Then hammering it home that he's not a student or independent filmmaker and wont even entertain the idea of anyone treating him otherwise. It's delusion on an amazing scale.
I love me some Breen but "I'm not an egomaniac" is pretty rich considering half of his movies are about him as some Messianic figure with magical powers who gets with an attractive 20 year old girl despite him being 58 years old or so lol.
He’s way smarter than he leads on. Architects make really good money and the fact that he used that skill to boost himself into the life of an artist is actually ingenious.
Always great to hear from filmmakers on their process, no matter their level or how "good" or "bad" they are, there is always a lesson that can be learned.
37:32 He literally refuses to answer this question every single time in various interviews, and I'm beginning to suspect he can't name a single film, director, or actor.
"What movies have inspired you?" - "Nothing" Said by no filmmaker ever... I think you're absolutely right, I don't think he actually has a particular passion for filmmaking outside of himself and convincing himself they're as good.
Say what you will about his movies........it takes BALLS to put yourself out there to make them, self fund them, and find an audience. Most people never have the ability and guts to do this. Must Respect.
I saw a Twisted Pair screening at this exact same theatre when it came out!! Absolutely incredible time seeing a Breen film in person with hundreds of people. Sadly, the Breenius did not appear, but they dropped a major hint that he would come someday...and he did :D
I woke up at 4am, couldn't sleep, was a little hungry, and decided to make a snack. Pulled up TH-cam, and this was suggested. It's almost 5:30 now, and I'm about to go back to sleep wondering how a human being gets so deluded they can possibly behave like Neil Breen. 😂 I'm in awe of and somewhat jealous of his naivete and unwarranted self-esteem.
the Paris screening was such a magical experience. I traveled through there on the euro tunnel under water to see it over there and then came back to the UK in the same night.
Really??? LOL! This no talent has a Narcissistic personality disorder which is a mental health condition A grandiose sense of self-importance even when he has no talent. A preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love. A belief that they're “special” and unique. Has a need for excessive admiration. Has a sense of entitlement.
I'm sorry but I think this man is just andy kaufman-ing us all, he can't possible be this insane and actually function day to day, he must know he is making bad "movies" (if you can call what he produces movies) his intent is to make them so bad they are good, hillarious even, in the bad acting, bad editing, bad special effects, bad sound, bad everything, but part of that formula is to appear as if it is not intended, he has to appear as if he is 100% serious, and in a way he is 100%, 100% serious about making turly terrible incorhent movies, and then with a perfect straight face tell us they are "professional" and "legitmate" films... and then send barely labeled RW-DVD of those movies for $150. It's not a con, it's a dedicated act!
Well, I personaly know a few sh*tmakers (can't call them filmmakers, sorry) who think of themself as a genius. If you don't like piles of crap they produce - you are envy or don't have a taste. They can't stand any kind criticism.
Favorite line: "Part of doing everything myself is...and I understand that filmmaking is a collaborative process, and I love collaborating." How the interviewer keeps a straight face through this nonsensical, paradoxical, childish, boring yet fascinating interview, I have no idea.
Out of the 5 films he made, I have watched 2. Fateful Findings, and Twisted Pair. I swear to god they look like as if they were made by a 7 year old who is also suffering from chronic delusions. His films look and sound almost like gospels delivered by him to his followers. He lives in his own world and hardly has any idea what's going on outside. At least that's what I felt from his films. In the Universe of bad films, Neil Breen has his own space.
Cassidy West have you watched his movies? He has always sounded numb. He rarely shows human emotion, very strange. If he is on a medication that dulls him, he’s been on it for many years. Anti psychotics often do that
@@notatrollll I think he just has a boring voice and isn't very good at displaying emotion for the camera, like many amateur actors. They don't have the ability to lose themselves in the role and forget they're acting.
Anna333 come on he’s bragging About his movies being so professional etc when they are the worst movies you could ever see he’s clearly delusional he doesn’t get he has a cult following cause he’s a weirdo
I think he's serious in the beginning, about the filmmaking process, funding, writing, etc. However, I'm confident that he's trolling everyone with the actual material. With some luck, the Internet, and his awareness of the "it's so bad it's good" genre's resurgence in popularity, he is taking full advantage. ... In my opinion
“The only reason my movies are not mainstream is that I don’t live in Hollywood.” Sure, the only reason I’m not the president of the US is that I live in the Netherlands.
If Neil didn't organize this event himself it's pretty sadistic to have him on. :^| Neil: "I'm not an egomaniac" Well, maybe not a frantically rampaging one.. But if the roles you create for yourself is anything to go by... :PP
I just think Neil doesn’t want to be categorised or typecast, he likes having a certain level of control over his movies. It may be part of the reason why his films don’t stick to one theme and why he stays independent. I am sure people would throw money at him to be able to make a film with him or to be in one but he doesn’t want to give so much control over in terms of direction, casting, scripts etc which would inevitably happen if the bigger production companies got involved. Even in his films his characters are quite physically controlling. He grabs people a lot. Talking about corruption as well. It’s a joke in the movies that he always talks about corruption but he genuinely might be fearful of handing his movies over to someone who will turn it into something that he never wanted. They could also screw him out of a lot of money. This is why he’s so proud to have produced 5 self funded feature films that have all made a profit. He puts a lot of twists in his movies but he seems to think that plot twists are where you think of the most illogical thing that can happen at any given point and you just to that. E.g where the guy follows the seemingly random woman home, attacks her, she hits him with a photo frame and then he says “what’s for dinner?” as though they’re related.
@@AnxietyAddict Neil typecasts himself. Every single movie he plays the hero who is either Cyber space Jesus who kills the bad people, destroys the corrupt government and sleeps with younger women, a writer who is secretly a super hacker who destroys corrupt governments and sleeps with young women, a secret agent who stops terrorists and sleeps with younger women, cyber Jesus who has a twin, kills the bad guys and sleeps with younger women. You notice the common themes within his movies.
Love those moments like when he describes the beautiful Parisian theater with balconies and goes "You're going to screen Twisted Pair in _this_?" Let's not box him in with the Wiseaus of the world. Go, Neil!
I was thinking while listening, that this guy is an architect like Art Vandelay is an architect. He may have killed and eaten one though, so he has some architect in him. I say this with love.
"You told her I'm a marine biologist? But I'm not a marine biologist. Why didn't you tell her I'm an architect? You know I always wanted to pretend I was an architect!"
I just imagine him and his friends cracking up losing their minds everytime they write a scene 😂must be so fun , bro obviously knows what he's doing gotta respect it ❤😂
People always say: Listen to negative feedback, that's the stuff that makes you better. But if you want to be a true genius of modern cinema like Neil, you absolutely have to ignore it all and do your own thing. Imagine if he got what people said and went on to fixing the issues instead of choosing to only look at the glass half full, his movies would be unwatchable and he would make 0 money. But hold on before you also venture down that path. Even if you reach the incredible heights of Neil, he's the one person on the planet that doesn't get to enjoy his movies.
If he actually is in on the joke, then he's maybe the greatest avante garde comedian of all time. If he isn't, then he's the greatest avante garde comedian of all time.
Hes 100% in on the joke. Hes too well spoken and livid to be as dumb as the movies would indicate. He doesnt seem oblivious like tommy wiseau. He just makes horrific movies starring himself for a living. That doesnt make it any less genius IMO.

The most disturbing thing surrounding this Neil's phenomenon is not Neil himself . It's the amount of hysterical people screaming from the deep of their lungs 🫁 with the perspective of seing him. Just watching one of his films largely explains he can't find financial investors to make movies.
"I'm not an egomaniac." Every single one of his movies features him as a protagonist with superhuman abilities.
And right after in the video he spends 99% talking about how great he is. He lacks all self-awareness and that's his doom and our blessing.
@ROG I hope he's not. Because if he is then his movies loose much of their appeal. When I see a Neil Breen movie I want to enter a strange world of madness and dellusion, not just some intentionally bad movies for the bucks as a brand. Nah, I remain, at least, in doubt.
'I Am Here....Now' literally had him playing Jesus and he spent the entire movie lecturing people about how immoral and worthless they are.
I am conviced that he might be on the spectrum.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about. Neil’s movies are just really good”, Quentin Tarantino, 2027
we'll see about that.
What if Neil and Tommy Wiseau combined their super powers in a single movie? I believe it would Rip a hole in time and space.
They may as well let them do the Star Wars sequel trilogy instead of Jar Jar Abrams and Ruin Johnson. Facts Stacks and Chicken Shacks.
Then you would get a Breeseau or a Wiseen.
I want this
The standing ovation he mentions in the first 15 minutes was before they screened the movie.
😂😂
Dude low key nailed it. He gave the crowd a real Breening.
Not one tuna can.
I love how for the first chunk of this video, he spends 10 minutes desperately assuring his audience that he's a legitimate Hollywood-tier filmmaker, and that the only thing separating him from them is not making them in Hollywood. Then hammering it home that he's not a student or independent filmmaker and wont even entertain the idea of anyone treating him otherwise.
It's delusion on an amazing scale.
Ur jealousy is noted.
@@ezioauditore6038 so is your idiocracy
I love me some Breen but "I'm not an egomaniac" is pretty rich considering half of his movies are about him as some Messianic figure with magical powers who gets with an attractive 20 year old girl despite him being 58 years old or so lol.
He also lists his name in every part of the credits.
@@SonnyGTA NB Catering, BNB Sound, NN Casting...etc
"I can't believe it I am watching this. I can't believe it I am watching this. Why I am watching this? Why am I watching this?"
Is that you Neil?
"Who am I watching? What am I watching?"
He’s way smarter than he leads on. Architects make really good money and the fact that he used that skill to boost himself into the life of an artist is actually ingenious.
Dude puts out Blockbuster after Blockbuster. You dont get a much better actor than Neil Breen on your set. Absolute legend.
Always great to hear from filmmakers on their process, no matter their level or how "good" or "bad" they are, there is always a lesson that can be learned.
Right, so Final Cut Pro, Fusion 7, and After Effects. Got it.
I’d do anything to be in a Neil breen movie
Just ask him
Can you act? then you are not qualifed to be in a Neil Breen Film.
umm just ask,he dont care about experience
If leo DiCaprio says no then maeby
Just take your bra off.
37:32 He literally refuses to answer this question every single time in various interviews, and I'm beginning to suspect he can't name a single film, director, or actor.
None compare to his
@@MiacDaled😂
"What movies have inspired you?" - "Nothing"
Said by no filmmaker ever...
I think you're absolutely right, I don't think he actually has a particular passion for filmmaking outside of himself and convincing himself they're as good.
It's funny cause Tommy Wiseau do the exact same thing. Maybe they're from the same planet.
@@LilyLota Tommy Wiseau can actually name films, directors, actors, etc
Say what you will about his movies........it takes BALLS to put yourself out there to make them, self fund them, and find an audience. Most people never have the ability and guts to do this. Must Respect.
I was having trouble sleeping until now. If he talks any slower I'll end up in a coma. Luvin the Breen.
I saw a Twisted Pair screening at this exact same theatre when it came out!! Absolutely incredible time seeing a Breen film in person with hundreds of people. Sadly, the Breenius did not appear, but they dropped a major hint that he would come someday...and he did :D
I woke up at 4am, couldn't sleep, was a little hungry, and decided to make a snack. Pulled up TH-cam, and this was suggested. It's almost 5:30 now, and I'm about to go back to sleep wondering how a human being gets so deluded they can possibly behave like Neil Breen. 😂 I'm in awe of and somewhat jealous of his naivete and unwarranted self-esteem.
what a weird dude. love him
He's a character
A real human breen
maybe the lowkey funniest thing is after all the talk of professionalism he is just straight up like "I cant afford/wont use union actors"
the Paris screening was such a magical experience. I traveled through there on the euro tunnel under water to see it over there and then came back to the UK in the same night.
Imagine watching this before having seen his movies. You're gonna think his movies are very different than they are lmao
Yeah you don't expect them do be as good and well written as they are. That's for sure.
He has a true passion for what he’s doing, and I have mad respect for that.
Really??? LOL! This no talent has a Narcissistic personality disorder which is a mental health condition
A grandiose sense of self-importance even when he has no talent.
A preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
A belief that they're “special” and unique.
Has a need for excessive admiration.
Has a sense of entitlement.
Honestly, those screams are completely understandable hahahahaha, so you're completely forgiven
Sounds like they're patronising him.
he is our modern day Ed Wood. god bless him.
Ed Wood had some talent, he just didn't give a F. He knew his monster movies would sell no matter what.
I'm sorry but I think this man is just andy kaufman-ing us all, he can't possible be this insane and actually function day to day, he must know he is making bad "movies" (if you can call what he produces movies) his intent is to make them so bad they are good, hillarious even, in the bad acting, bad editing, bad special effects, bad sound, bad everything, but part of that formula is to appear as if it is not intended, he has to appear as if he is 100% serious, and in a way he is 100%, 100% serious about making turly terrible incorhent movies, and then with a perfect straight face tell us they are "professional" and "legitmate" films... and then send barely labeled RW-DVD of those movies for $150. It's not a con, it's a dedicated act!
I really hope so
He is a scamster
The ambiguity of it is what makes it so entertaining. Master troll or pure loony? WE'LL NEVER KNOW.
Honestly, that would make it even more brilliant, the illusion is still fun
Well, I personaly know a few sh*tmakers (can't call them filmmakers, sorry) who think of themself as a genius. If you don't like piles of crap they produce - you are envy or don't have a taste. They can't stand any kind criticism.
Favorite line: "Part of doing everything myself is...and I understand that filmmaking is a collaborative process, and I love collaborating." How the interviewer keeps a straight face through this nonsensical, paradoxical, childish, boring yet fascinating interview, I have no idea.
He rambled about how great he is for 12min w/o being asked 1 question lol…
Out of the 5 films he made, I have watched 2. Fateful Findings, and Twisted Pair. I swear to god they look like as if they were made by a 7 year old who is also suffering from chronic delusions. His films look and sound almost like gospels delivered by him to his followers. He lives in his own world and hardly has any idea what's going on outside. At least that's what I felt from his films. In the Universe of bad films, Neil Breen has his own space.
He sounds kind of out of it. Like he's on numbing medication.
Cassidy West have you watched his movies? He has always sounded numb. He rarely shows human emotion, very strange. If he is on a medication that dulls him, he’s been on it for many years. Anti psychotics often do that
He always sounds like that
@@notatrollll I think he just has a boring voice and isn't very good at displaying emotion for the camera, like many amateur actors. They don't have the ability to lose themselves in the role and forget they're acting.
@@notatrollll Dulled emotions are often a symptom of psychosis rather than medication, it's called flat affect.
That's how good of an actor he is. He acted confused this entire time.
The word "delusional" doesn't even begin to describe the insanity level this guy operates at...
Ur just jealous
@@ezioauditore6038you just go around the comments calling people jealous like a baby?
He is completely nuts and entertaining.
He's a real narcissist, not once did he thank his fans. Instead he's like go check on youtube the standing ovations i received.
Neil P It’s his narcissism that makes his films so entertaining
He is, but it doesn’t come across as malicious... he has this strangely childlike innocence about him. Kinda.
Narcissism is an invented belief.
Anna333 come on he’s bragging
About his movies being so professional etc when they are the worst movies you could ever see he’s clearly delusional he doesn’t get he has a cult following cause he’s a weirdo
You don't make 5 vanity projects without a massive dose of narcissism.
Someone should bring Tommy Wissau and Neil Breen together in the big screen like Heat brought Pacino and De Niro
Then they'll merge into one true Jesus
I think he's serious in the beginning, about the filmmaking process, funding, writing, etc. However, I'm confident that he's trolling everyone with the actual material. With some luck, the Internet, and his awareness of the "it's so bad it's good" genre's resurgence in popularity, he is taking full advantage. ... In my opinion
That’s actually a really good theory! It makes sense
Nah. He's just batshit crazy.
“The only reason my movies are not mainstream is that I don’t live in Hollywood.”
Sure, the only reason I’m not the president of the US is that I live in the Netherlands.
You got my vote
Hollywood is jealous of Neil.
Neil Breen seems like a really nice guy, but oh boy, once that ego of his gets going...
Truly, the modern Ed Wood. I can't wait to see the new Cade movie.
Neil Breen... where to start... your movies are Breentastic!
Thank you RedLetterMedia :)
This man is such an icon😔✌
Despite his quality of films, he still made it, and his advise on some issues makes sense.
He made it *because* of the quality of his films lol
I cannot for the life of me figure out of this video is slowed down or Neil just naturally speaks with the speed of molasses.
Try watching an interview with Nicolas Winding Refn then (he is a real director tho, although not a good one)
@@NicoleBeNot a good one? Boy, are you out of your goddamn mind? Cause I'll help you find it!
@@ObsidianDeville I don’t like how he treats women and his movies come across as pretentious to me
@@NicoleBe That doesn't mean he is not a good director.
I certainly hope you appreciate fifty shades' director (whoever that is)
Watch his films.
It's like paint drying, only less compelling.
Neil Breen should be the next James Bond, born to play him..........
That woman shreiking at the start. Bealtlemania all over again.
"Neil Breen's mega blockbuster hit movie"
The greatest film maker of all times.
i can not believe he is doing this interview how could he do this? how could he do this interview ?
no apologies needed I screamed at my monitor
Ok....this guy just likes hearing himself talk
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND!
Mostly myth
10:30 Imagine living in a house designed by Neil Breen. What would that be like?
A death trap
I'm expecting an MC Escher drawing IRL.
a cardboard box with bricks childishly drawn on the walls and dull scissor cut out windows
It definitely wouldn't have a beard.
Probably the toilet is on the balcony so he can watch the world go by
If Neil didn't organize this event himself it's pretty sadistic to have him on. :^|
Neil: "I'm not an egomaniac" Well, maybe not a frantically rampaging one.. But if the roles you create for yourself is anything to go by... :PP
I just think Neil doesn’t want to be categorised or typecast, he likes having a certain level of control over his movies. It may be part of the reason why his films don’t stick to one theme and why he stays independent. I am sure people would throw money at him to be able to make a film with him or to be in one but he doesn’t want to give so much control over in terms of direction, casting, scripts etc which would inevitably happen if the bigger production companies got involved.
Even in his films his characters are quite physically controlling. He grabs people a lot. Talking about corruption as well. It’s a joke in the movies that he always talks about corruption but he genuinely might be fearful of handing his movies over to someone who will turn it into something that he never wanted. They could also screw him out of a lot of money. This is why he’s so proud to have produced 5 self funded feature films that have all made a profit.
He puts a lot of twists in his movies but he seems to think that plot twists are where you think of the most illogical thing that can happen at any given point and you just to that. E.g where the guy follows the seemingly random woman home, attacks her, she hits him with a photo frame and then he says “what’s for dinner?” as though they’re related.
.....his movies have themes? Really?
@@homelessjesse9453 according to him they do. Lord knows what they are though.
@@AnxietyAddict Neil typecasts himself. Every single movie he plays the hero who is either Cyber space Jesus who kills the bad people, destroys the corrupt government and sleeps with younger women, a writer who is secretly a super hacker who destroys corrupt governments and sleeps with young women, a secret agent who stops terrorists and sleeps with younger women, cyber Jesus who has a twin, kills the bad guys and sleeps with younger women. You notice the common themes within his movies.
Probably the best actor ever
Love those moments like when he describes the beautiful Parisian theater with balconies and goes "You're going to screen Twisted Pair in _this_?" Let's not box him in with the Wiseaus of the world. Go, Neil!
I was thinking while listening, that this guy is an architect like Art Vandelay is an architect. He may have killed and eaten one though, so he has some architect in him. I say this with love.
Most ppl trading this comment won't know who art vandelay is lol

Say what you want about Breen. He's making films.
Audience questions start at 29:50
The reason my films aren't made by Hollywood is I don't live near Hollywood. And they won't return my calls. It's really that simple.
😂😂
Can he sign my broken laptop?
Come on venue organisers!... a stool for Neil!? You should have brought a digital programmable sofa
An all time great filmmaker.
It’s easy to shit on this guy and his films but at the end of the day, he’s living his dream and working his passion. Gotta respect that.
>>he’s living his dream and working his passion

Literally represents an evil twin by putting facial hair on them - a top 10 film cliche.

Perish the thought.
Yeah - I need more Space Ice reviews 😂
I just imagine him and his friends cracking up losing their minds everytime they write a scene 😂must be so fun , bro obviously knows what he's doing gotta respect it ❤😂
People always say: Listen to negative feedback, that's the stuff that makes you better. But if you want to be a true genius of modern cinema like Neil, you absolutely have to ignore it all and do your own thing. Imagine if he got what people said and went on to fixing the issues instead of choosing to only look at the glass half full, his movies would be unwatchable and he would make 0 money. But hold on before you also venture down that path. Even if you reach the incredible heights of Neil, he's the one person on the planet that doesn't get to enjoy his movies.
