By the time he was 4 years old, he was intrigued by the dynamic music videos of early 1980's MTV, specifically the work of Duran Duran, Madonna, and Michael Jackson. After graduating from Webster University with a degree in film directing, he headed to Los Angeles, where he soon landed a job at mOcean, editing movie trailers for box-office smashes such as Ocean's Thirteen and The Prestige.

Continuing his involvement in politics, he worked with Chappelle's Show director Rusty Cundieff on a 2008 Obama campaign commercial.

In 2009, Phillip edited and produced Katt Williams' film Katthouse Comedy, then followed it by directing the definitive documentary of Williams' career, The Katt Phenomenon. He also served as a writer for the upcoming documentary Huxley on Huxley, featuring Peter Coyote and Nick Nolte.
