After graduating with an MFA from Yale, Phil divided his time between acting, directing, and producing – first in New York and later in L.A. For this Coffee Date, I asked him to share his experiences producing and directing his 15-minute short film Living In Walter’s World, which starred Ethan Phillips (Star Trek Voyager), Armin Shimerman (Star Trek: Deep Space 9) and Stephan Furst (Animal House). Phil totally came through and offers us a detailed map of what it takes to go from “hey, this is cool idea” to “ready for the festivals.”
