TIM PHILLIPS, Writer-Producer-Director

In 2011, Tim Phillips completed the Cinematics film production program at Ed Video Media Arts Centre in Guelph, Ontario. As his final project, he directed and co-produced HIGH AND DRY from a script he co-wrote for Ed Video’s Scriptwriting Challenge. HIGH AND DRY premiered at the Route 66 International Film Festival in Springfield, Illinois on November 3, 2012. The film also screened at the Great Ongoing Guelph Independent Film Festival (Go-GIFF) on March 15, 2013.

Since HIGH AND DRY, Tim co-produced a dance film featuring the music of Hungarian composer Bela Bartok called ETERNAL RETURN and wrote, produced and directed the trailer and pilot episode of the irreverent web series THE JOY OF SAX. In 2013, Tim's short screenplay for URBAN TOOTH DECAY was awarded the runner-up prize from the jury at Ed Video's Scriptwriting Challenge.

In 2015, Tim's comedic short SNOOZE TEASE won the Best Comedy Award at the Route 66 International Film Festival and screened at VIDEODRUNK in Toronto. The same year, Tim also completed the short comedy URBAN TOOTH DECAY.

 

Tim is currently finishing up post-production on THE COST OF LIVING, a crazy, dark, short comedy.

Tim is passionate about infusing seemingly silly comedies with deeper themes and emotions. He was born and raised in Stratford, Ontario and now resides in Mississauga, Ontario.
