Early career
Philip graduated with honors from California State University, Northridge with a degree in film and television production in 1997. He spent two years as head of the Trailer Department for Roger Corman's Concorde-New Horizons.
Notable Accomplishments and Controversy
After completing the dramatic short Sway in 2001, Philip went to work on his next short project "Walkentalk" which gained noteriety on the festival circuit. The spoof comedy My Big Fat Independent Movie marked his feature directorial debut.
My Big Fat Independent Movie toured 40 film festivals worldwide premiering at SXSW in Austin, Texas and then playing festivals such as Cinequest, San Diego Film Festival, Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, Newport Beach Film Festival, Worldfest Houston and the Temecula Valley Film Festival, where it won Best Comedy Feature.. At nearly every festival stop, the film played to sold out audiences and screenings were added at Cinequest and Jacksonville. The film played a limited theatrical run in 10 markets and then sold to cable playing on Showtime and the Sundance Channel. My Big Fat Independent Movie was released on DVD by Anchor Bay Entertainment in in January 2006 available in a single disc R-rated edition as well as an un-rated double-disc set. Critical reviews focused heavily on the fact that the film was co-written and produced by former movie reviewer and Film Threat founder Chris Gore, which may have led to the lukewarm critical response. Those who have discovered the film on the festival circuit, DVD or cable have described My Big Fat Independent Movie as a cult classic.
