Neda Farr Biography
Neda Farr is an entertainment industry professional and a revolutionary visionary for a nobler direction for the Los Angeles commerce landscape. She is an activist for inclusion of all body types and races in the entertainment industry and strives to give visibility to more films and more talent through her work with her self-made company Premie.
Farr has changed the entertainment industry’s landscape with the founding of her company, Premie, by offering a new channel of distribution for cinema. The entrance of this business offers hundreds of production companies the opportunity to debut their film if they do not have the standing to premiere in movie theaters or festivals. Movies are premiered online for the first time ever and therefore the illegal pirated movie market has been eliminated because of Farr’s work. It is extremely difficult for movies to enter the theater landscape due to the monopoly of Disney, Sony, and Universal Studios. Theaters will not accept indie films or small-budget productions. Premie aims to premiere these films and give them 50% of the royalties. Films that are entered in festivals, albeit being indie and locally-sourced, are granted little to no monetary benefit. Farr’s work on Premie is completely changing the movie distribution scene and beginning a new era after the reign of Netflix and movie theaters.
Neda Farr has been working tirelessly as an advocate for body positivity and curve inclusion in the modeling and social media worlds. She has approached dozens of talent agencies with the persuading words to close the gap between “normal” and “plus-sized” models. She works with Arsenic Management to bring modeling photos to the public that raises awareness that every model, no matter their size, is “normal.” This topic has become taboo after the domination of fashion stylists and designers who refuse to create pieces for the populace who possesses a greater clothing size than US 4. The fashion world has a majority of extremely thin models who they attempt to enforce are the only normal body standard. Farr is actively campaigning against these designers and expressing that it is not okay to promote eating disorders and body dysmorphia. With the entrance of more “curvy” models who enable a broader and healthier representation of women comes powerful change. Farr advocates for this notion through her social media channels including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Snapchat. She has received major acclaim for her online presence and is creating waves of societal transformations through her work.
Farr is currently a Public Relations sophomore at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California and uses her education as a platform for her visions. She has interned at More/Medavoy Management, Hollywood Casting and Film, and a music producer at MTV and iHeartRadio. Her upcoming work will be at Untitled Entertainment and StudioCanal Productions in the summer of 2019. She has learned the ins and outs of the entertainment industry and strives to use this expertise to create her own agency one day.
Farr has expressed her career goals to be in the business side of entertainment. She was inspired to join the world of Hollywood after visiting Universal Studios at just 9 years old. The Mummy film exhibit at the park showed her that extreme beauty and grace can be expressed through film. The graphics and CGI are so realistic that she wondered how exactly a team of people could develop such intense visuals. Thereafter she rode on the Universal Studios World-Famous Studio Tour. It was there where she learned about the actors, directors, and producers that have shaped the entertainment industry since the early 1900s. Her favorite movies and actors history was splashed across the studio lots. The props and sets that were used to make the most iconic pieces of art in her mind were laid out in front of her. It was the most inspiring moment of her life. From then on, her career path had been shaped for her. She was inspired to join film, management, and leadership clubs at her high school to learn more about the entertainment industry and how to be a powerful woman in modern society. She frequents Universal Studios today and uses it as a place to think and be inspired.
