Created and directed by Harrison Fishman and Dylan Redford, the six-episode A24 production spent greater than two years embedding with feuding neighbors across the U.S., framing their disputes over fences, surveillance cameras, backyard menageries and one now-infamous swimsuit as a verit\u00e9 window right into a polarized nation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe series marks a notable pivot for Josh Safdie, who produces \u201cNeighbors\u201d alongside frequent collaborators Bronstein and Bush following the well-documented skilled split from brother Benny Safdie. It also continues HBO Max\u2019s run of Safdie-aligned nonfiction swings, including \u201cTelemarketers\u201d and \u201cRen Faire,\u201d trading those projects\u2019 single-subject deep dives for an anthology rhythm that stacks multiple flamable stories into each half-hour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSafdie is coming off his 4 Oscar nominations for best picture, director, original screenplay and editing for the Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet table-tennis dramedy \u201cMarty Supreme.\u201d Alongside the multihyphenate in the highest submission race, this system enters with a producing roster that features Ronald Bronstein (who also scored double Oscar noms for \u201cMarty\u201d), Eli Bush, John Paul Lopez-Ali, Jonathan Hausfater, Chris Bowyer, Harrison Fishman, Dylan Redford, Samuel Fishman and Brendan McHugh as executive producers, together with Andy Ruse and Max Allman as co-executive producers, Natalie Teter as producer and Rachel Walden with a produced by credit. The campaign coalesces across the jaw-dropping finale \u201cYellow Thong Bikini\u201d (Episode 106), which carries into nearly every craft race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThere\u2019s an interesting Hollywood bloodline embedded within the producer credits. Dylan Redford, who serves as co-creator, director, editor, cinematographer, production sound mixer, fundamental title editor and motion design director on the series, is the grandson of the late Robert Redford, the Oscar-winning actor and Sundance Film Festival founder who died last yr at 89.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tA possible Emmy nod would also break an extended dry spell for the network within the genre. HBO has rarely been a think about the fact races, and \u201cNeighbors\u201d comes as a populist play centered on a relatable subject: the feud round the corner. A bid in unstructured reality could be HBO\u2019s first reality series nom in six years, since \u201cWe\u2019re Here\u201d in 2020, and would make \u201cNeighbors\u201d only the fourth reality series the network has ever landed in the sector following \u201cProject Greenlight\u201d (2016, 2004 and 2002) and \u201cTaxicab Confessions\u201d (2002 and 2001).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tEmmy nomination-round voting runs from June 11-22, and the official 78th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations will likely be announced on July 8.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe complete list of the Emmy submissions is below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>The primary season of \u201cNeighbors\u201d is streaming on HBO Max. <\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"container \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program: Episode 106, \u201cYellow Thong Bikini\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Directing for a Reality Program: Harrison Fishman and Dylan Redford, Episode 106, \u201cYellow Thong Bikini\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Picture Editing for an Unstructured Reality Program: Dustin Waldman, Harrison Fishman, Dylan Redford, Nicholas Nazmi and Kima Hibbert, edited by; Eavvon O\u2019Neal, additional editor, Episode 106, \u201cYellow Thong Bikini\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Casting for a Reality Program: Harleigh Shaw, casting by<\/li>\n<li>Cinematography for a Reality Program: Harrison Fishman, Sam Fishman and Andy Ruse, cinematographers, Episode 106, \u201cYellow Thong Bikini\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Sound Mixing for a Reality Program: Paul Hsu, re-recording mixer; Dylan Redford, production mixer, Episode 106, \u201cYellow Thong Bikini\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Music Composition for a Documentary\/Nonfiction or Reality Program (Original Dramatic Rating): Max Whipple, rating composed by, Episode 106, \u201cYellow Thong Bikini\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Original Major Title Theme Music: Max Whipple, rating composed by<\/li>\n<li>Title Design: Steve Smith, designer and animator; Emily Chin-Longobardi, typographer; Dylan Redford, Harrison Fishman, Dustin Waldman, Kima Hibbert and Nicholas Nazmi, editors<\/li>\n<li>Motion Design: Steve Smith, animator; Dylan Redford, director and editor; Nicholas Nazmi and Dustin Waldman, editors; Harrison Fishman, director, editor and cinematographer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HBO Max goes wide with its Emmy campaign for \u201cNeighbors,\u201d the Josh Safdie-produced docuseries that turned America\u2019s pettiest property-line feuds into some of the talked-about unscripted experiments of the season.
