From his graduation film Hooker & Son drawing plaudits from international director George Miller (Happy Feet) to producing commercials that have garnered Gold and Silver Lions at the Cannes International Commercial Festival, the world's most prestigious commercials award, and on into screenwriting Philip has steadily increased his reputation as a filmmaker.

After graduating film school he was the In-House Producer for John Street, considered Australia's premiere commercial photographer, who was venturing into commercial production. The “Lions” testify to the quality of production Philip was responsible for.  John encouraged Philip to develop his photography skills and afterwards Philip maintained a photography sideline. By the time he left Australia he had received assignments from several leading Australian Fashion Magazines.

He also worked with awarding winning director Peter Tammer, producing several shorts and documentaries, including Journey into Fear winner Best Documentary at the Melbourne and Edinburgh Film Festivals. Philip further co-created/co-directed/produced Australia’s first feature length video drama, The Feature Video Drama.
