NeeBrell Productions is a duo of early American brickfilmers, consisting of Brad Abrell and Steve Needell. They created numerous brickfilms in the late 1970s, ranking among the earliest known brickfilms.[1] Most notably, their film Superman? is the earliest known brickfilm based on a superhero, and their film Star Wars is the earliest located brickfilm based on Star Wars and possibly the earliest known to have been made (there is known to have been a Star Wars brickfilm created by Stefanie Herzer in 1977 or 1978, but this has not been located). Both Star Wars and existing superheroes would eventually go on to become very popular for adaptation in brickfilming.[2]
