Find out in "HEAT ON THE STREET" starring Charla Phillips as Victoria Halliwell and Cohen Phillips as Slade Farrow. Below is the the first two official pictures from the movie. Enjoy and stay tuned for more updates right here on the PhillipsFilms blog!

Well we're one month into 2008 and I thought I would go ahead and release news of the first few films of the new year I'm hoping to produce soon. These films are for all ages.
If they were going to 'rated,' they would all be PG. The films are as follows....

Terror Highway(Shooting February/March)- A horror short about a mother and daughter and what they encounter on a cross county trip. Malice endures!

---

Yellow Polka Dot Bikini music video(Shooting May/June)-You've heard the swinging song now see the story come to life! Shot in groovy 60's style.

Thought I should post here as we are getting close to 2007 ending. I'm looking forward to 2008 and all it holds in store for me. I've been penning some stories that hopefully will be going into production in the early parts of 2008. So stay tuned!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! See ya in 2008!

*This is my latest short film that is now online for all to view!!*
This short film, Classroom Liaisons, I did for a contest on filmshooting.com
You had to follow a theme which was..

"Two people meet. Things are unsaid and it's obvious that one of them is waiting for something. Suddenly a third person arrives, and everything we've come to expect is turned upside down."

Plus the film had to be under 5 minutes so to squeeze all that in was hard but I think it turned out quite well. Enjoy!

Hi everyone! Thought I would give an update on what I've been doing. I was recently given the chance to direct my first stage play. The play is "The Miracle Worker" about the life of Helen Keller and her teacher Annie Sullivan. I had auditions for it this past weekend and we're going into rehearsals this Wednesday. We preform the play on Nov 16-18th in the Missouri Theater here in town.

My film projects will be put on hold while I'm doing this at this time. If you'd like to follow along with my theater directing adventure, I've started a separate blog here.
