Neon Zoo | About

Neon Zoo® is the independent film studio of award-winning director & producer Elyse Kelly.

From intimate narratives to global conversations, we bring untold, unexpected, and sometimes taboo stories to life. Because every story matters. Partnering with socially conscious brands, NGOs, nonprofits, and cultural institutions, we use storytelling to create meaningful impact.

Our work, recognized by Sundance, Tribeca, and The Webby’s, among others, includes collaborations with Netflix, Starz, The New Yorker, the ACLU, and the United Nations Foundation.

Why animation?

Animation is, dare we say, the best way to tell a story. It can be playful or profound, nostalgic or cutting-edge — or everything all at once — and that range is exactly what makes it so special. It’s limitless.
