Netflix In Talks For Sundance Documentary ‘The Perfect Neighbor’

Netflix is in talks for the Geeta Gandbhir directed documentary The Perfect Neighbor which won the Documentary Directing Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

The Perfect Neighbor made its world premiere in the U.S. Documentary Competition section.

The film follows a minor disagreement between neighbors in Florida which takes a lethal turn, with police body camera footage and interviews probing the aftermath of the state’s controversial “stand your ground” laws.

The Perfect Neighbor reps the second pick-up for the streamer out of this year’s festival after Train Dreams which they took for $8M, as Deadline first told you.

Deadline first reported the first sale out of Sundance with NEON taking the Michael Shanks’ directed, Dave Franco and Alison Brie starring horror movie Together in a $15 million-plus deal.

Cinetic handled sales on The Perfect Neighbor. Netflix decline to comment.
