Phil Hawkins

Phil Hawkins is one of those weird, driven souls who directed his first short film when he was 13. Since that time, he has continued making shorts and promos regularly. It was through the experience of writing, directing and editing his own films that he has honed his skills as a filmmaker.

As well as his numerous film projects, his work in many professional theatres as director and writer provided an invaluable insight into working with and directing actors.

After writing and directing a short film for BBC Manchester, Phil fell into the commercials industry. He worked his way up the ladder from Runner (he still makes a mean cup of tea) to VT Op, Camera Assistant, 3rd Assistant Director, 1st AD and then Director.

His first feature "The Women Of Troy" won Best Director at the New York Independent Film Festival and is on sale internationally on DVD.

Phil was also the only filmmaker from the UK to appear on Fox/Dreamworks reality television show "On The Lot" for filmmakers. Phil was personally selected by Steven Spielberg to appear on the show after watching his short film 'Commandeered'. Phil was controversially voted off the show to the surprise of the show's producers, critics and fans.

Phil is currently in high demand to direct feature films. Phil is managed by Sammy Montana at Trancas International in the US for features.

Phil lives in Manchester, England with a sack of DVDs, a cat and a cardboard cut out of Hitchcock. They're all very happy.
