Born into a showbiz family, with every finger in a different creative pie. Phil has trained as an actor and audio engineer, and is a musician and music producer. He’s written and directed for stage and screen, including two feature films and a stage musical. As an author he’s published four books: F*k Art, Just Tell the Story, a comprehensive filmmaking guide; the novel Return of the Prophet, and its companion book The Shentama; and his latest novel Terra Utopia. When not writing or creating music with his band GuffNasm, he teaches filmmaking and sound production. For all the different creative areas Phil has explored, he identified first and foremost as a storyteller – whatever form that may take.
