Phil's Previous Experience
Phil is a double Masters graduate - including an MA in Dramatic Writing from Sussex University .
He's had nine plays premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe since 2000 in addition to work produced in London, Paris, Milan and Eastbourne.
Now writing full-time he was, until 2014, Director of Drama at the City of London Freemen’s School and taught a great many students who have gone on to successful careers in theatre, tv and film including Andrew Garfield and Kelly Reilly.
His play, 'Sheep Love To Die' was professionally performed at The Printers' Playhouse in January 2024.
He has taught students from Year 1 to Post Graduate level within his teaching career.
He is a founding member of this group and was a member of the Page2Stage group at the Printers Playhouse in Eastbourne between 2021 and 2024.
During that time he was also a member of Sussex Playwrights where his work was regularly aired and shared.
His work written for Young People’s Theatre has been published by TreePress and ScriptStore.
Nick has spent the last twenty five years working in the independent film industry as a writer/producer and director. He began as a producer for Ghost Films, making the $1m anthology feature film, Tales of the Fourth Dimension. The episodic nature of the film attracted interest from Granada Studios with a view to using the feature film to promote a series along the lines of The Twilight Zone and Tales of the Unexpected (which Granada already had in its stable at the time). Upon the studios amalgamation with LWT, along with the subsequent change in product strategy, the series idea was not pursued, although the feature film was completed and distributed on DVD by Blue Dolphin Films.
Nick’s next project was working for Laidback-films Ltd, writing, producing and directing the feature film, Monsoon Tide, a $1m mystery drama set in India. The film reached the finals of many film festivals around the world and was ultimately picked up for worldwide distribution by House of Film in Los Angeles.
Nick has attended many masterclasses in screen-writing held by established writers and script gurus such as Robert Mckee and Charles Harris. He has also worked on many short films in many various roles.
