Hi Phil, just had a browse around the site and was really impressed with the work, very creative and stunning shots.

I’m a 21 year old creative media student living in the UK hoping to be doing things like you as I grow older and more experienced!

Keep up the good work, and if you have any advice on how to get any experience I would be very greatful. I have applied for BBC and ITV work experience several times and am always phoning around smaller businesses, but it’s really hard to get my foot in the door!

Regards,

Daniel

I am a big fan of learn on the job. Best way is to shoot as much as you can and learn from your mistakes. Share with others and get feedback! Best of luck. p

Phillip,

Let me start out by saying how much I love the videos that you produce. They have so much emotion, passion — it shows that the person making the videos truly pours their heart into what they are doing!

I aspire to do something like yourself, to well, go places that many people have not had the opportunity to go to, and to tell a story — a story about the people there, the things they do, and the world that we live in. Needless to say, I desire to go into the film industry with no class experience — I think that you can learn all you need from the internet, and these things called books that so many of my peers seem to have thrown to the wayside.

Since you’ve never studied film, did you learn everything from good ‘ol experience and hands-on training?

I just saw your reply to Nico’s post, I think i’ll search around for your blog post! I’m curious to see what advice you can give about this subject!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read these posts and reply! It means a lot to the ‘aspiring filmmaker’ to get advice from a guy living the dream.

hello, I really like your films, I want to learn to do what you do, I have a canon 500D, and you think you can experiment with it?
I always liked the movies, but I live here in Ecuador and no film schools, I have many ideas about science fiction films and drama, I would be a topic of how to get to do real movies, I would not lived the rest of my life with the thorn in my heart, thank you …. and I really love your work, you serve me much inspiration, thank you ….

Hi Philip

I recently got in touch with your work, and I simply love it.

Film and photography have been my two passions for a long time now.
Everything about it attracts me to learn about it, more and more.

I had to choose what to study after I finished High School, so I decided to follow the way of Filmmaking.But, I’m worried. I’m not that of a good student, I don’t like what school offers me and puts me up to tasks I really hate to complete.

I want to do this by myself, without academical courses. But also affraid that there won’t be any employer in the future who will recruit someone just by its passion and has no diploma in his pockets.

I see you did it all by yourself. Did you encounter many obstacles into making carreer as filmmaker?

Thanks for taking time to read.
Hope to hear from you and see more of your work in the future.

Friendly regards,

Nico

Hello from Tokyo,

thanks for this absolutely wonderful movie: “Alone in Tokyo”. I have seen this film and only thought: “Tadaima” (You say Tadaima in Japan when you coming home).

If you will come to Tokyo again someday, it would be my pleasure to pay for the dinner.
