Neon

INDEPENDENT DISTRIBUTOR

Neon is an influential American independent film production and distribution company founded in 2017, known for championing bold, critically acclaimed cinema and reshaping the landscape of indie film in the 21st century. NEON quickly gained a reputation for curating and releasing daring, culturally significant films, from breakout hits like I, Tonya (2017) to global phenomenon Parasite (2019), which became the first non-English–language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.

The company has become synonymous with award-winning international and arthouse cinema, distributing a string of Palme d’Or winners at the Cannes Film Festival and earning multiple Oscars and nominations across its slate.
