Mandt Bros. Productions is a production firm located in Los Angeles, established in 2001 by siblings Neil and Michael Mandt. Both brothers act as partners and producers for the Golden Globe Awards. Their expertise encompasses television, cinema, digital media, immersive experiences, and mobile content, including facilities dedicated to virtual and augmented reality.
Among their distinguished works are ESPN’s Jim Rome is Burning, Syfy’s Destination Truth, Food Network’s The Shed, Speed Channel’s The Car Show with Adam Carolla, E!'s My Crazy Life, Versus’s Sports Jobs with Junior Seau, Showtime’s Next Stop for Charlie, and ABC’s Frozen Christmas Parade.
In the realm of feature films, the Mandt brothers co-produced Disney’s Million Dollar Arm, featuring Jon Hamm and Alan Arkin, with contributions from director Craig Gillespie, Oscar-winning writer Tom McCarthy, producers Joe Roth, Mark Ciardi & Gordon Gray, and composer A.R. Rahman. Their 2018 release, The Last Movie Star, distributed by A24 and DirecTV, starred Burt Reynolds in his final leading role alongside Chevy Chase, Ariel Winter, Clark Duke, and Ellar Coltrane. Their independent film from 2007, Last Stop for Paul, garnered top honors at more than 50 film festivals and was later adapted into a 19-episode series on Showtime under their production.
Outside of Mandt Bros., Neil and Michael were involved in producing NBC’s coverage of the 2000 Sydney Olympics as well as the inaugural live MMA broadcasts on Chinese television. Michael has an extensive portfolio in live sports production including events such as the NBA Finals, NFL Pro Bowl, X-Games, US Open Tennis, MLB All-Star Game, World Series, and The Match: Tiger Woods vs Phil Mickelson.
Neil has directed numerous short films featuring prominent actors like Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew Perry, Justin Timberlake, Jon Hamm, Seth Meyers, Jamie Foxx, and Will Ferrell. His background also includes journalism roles at Post-Newsweek, CBS, and ABC News where he produced coverage of the O.J. Simpson criminal trial.
