Forcadela

Neil Forcadela is a seasoned film and television executive and producer with deep experience across scripted development, production, and content strategy. He has worked with writers, directors, networks, and studios to bring ambitious projects from concept to screen.

In parallel, Neil has built a career in data science and business intelligence, helping organizations extract meaning from complex data and translate it into decisions that matter. His dual background gives him a vantage point few in either field share.

Music is a constant thread. Neil writes and composes music, plays several instruments, and thinks seriously about sound as both craft and language. Outside of work and music, he writes on the ideas that genuinely fascinate him: the beauty of mathematical structures, the strangeness of physical reality, and the ways film and television reveal truths that other forms cannot reach.
