Neon Flamingo Films was founded in 2017 by author, screenwriter, and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Tyler Piña.
By the age of 20, Tyler had directed his first internationally distributed feature-length film. In 2018, his first short film 88 Cents played at Cannes. The film went on to screen at over 70 international film festivals, winning 67 awards, including 16 for Best Director, 7 for Best Screenplay, and 17 for Best Short Film. 88 Cents is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Tyler has since worked with several major studios, including Netflix, Disney, Apple TV, Amazon, and Hulu on some of their most acclaimed titles, such as Marvel's Thunderbolts*, Avatar: The Way of Water, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and Emilia Pérez, the most Oscar-nominated film of 2025.
Tyler has received national accolades for his journalism and documentary work at Vox Media and The Verge. He has won multiple Telly and CINDY awards as a producer and director across a range of music video and commercial projects. In 2025, he received a Golden Trailer Award nomination for his work as an editor, up against titles such as Wicked, How to Train Your Dragon, and Deadpool & Wolverine.
In 2018, Tyler received his first Emmy Award in the Technology category and an additional Emmy nomination as the series director for the show Next Level.
