About Philip

Los Angeles-based feature screenwriter focused on surreal, supernatural, psychological horror/thrillers, as well as dark sci-fi comedies. I have a love for the aesthetic and pacing of classic 1970's and 1980's horror films and tend to channel that in my writing.

I currently have one work-for-hire horror/thriller entering production summer-2017, as well as a completed psychological horror in development heading towards preproduction early-2018.

Unique traits: Psychological horrors, thrillers, and dark comedies.
