Nee Brothers
Aaron and Adam Nee, sometimes referred to as the Nee brothers, are an American filmmaking duo known for their feature films
Although the brothers work separately at times – Adam acts and writes solo or with other writing partners, and Aaron directs documentary projects and commercials – their collaboration on short and feature films, music videos for bands including A Fine Frenzy and Terrene, garnered them recognition as a filmmaking team. Their feature film The Last Romantic made Aaron and Adam Nee the winners of the Emerging Filmmakers Award at the 29th Starz Denver Film Festival. The festival described it as: "Ambitious in its narrative and visual aesthetics, this film is also the rare work by a first-time filmmaker that is both very funny and very smart," and "buoyed by an impressive and charming central performance as well as an eccentric and hilarious supporting cast." They were also featured in Filmmaker's "25 New Faces of Independent Film 2006". An earlier collaborative work of Aaron and Adam Nee was the music of ru(ok). Both brothers still create music separately, and Aaron scores many of the projects he has produced. In April 2018, it was announced that Aaron and Adam Nee would be directing a reboot of Masters of the Universe. The duo would also be co-writing the screenplay with David Callaham. The film is set to be released on Netflix, with production set to begin in 2023.
