BIO:
Philip was born and raised in Woodstock, NY. He's always had a vivid imagination and a knack for telling stories which led him to exploring filmmaking at age 15. A slew of short films have ranged from documentaries to animation and now narratives. For several years, Philip has been working closely with mentor and now collaborator Ron Nyswaner ("Philadelphia," "The Painted Veil," "Soldier's Girl"). As a filmmaker, he wants to explore the human experience, good and bad with a determination to portray a very realistic outlook on social issues.
