After a short stint in radio, Phil learned the nuts and bolts of TV production working on the sets of various German shows such as Die Rosenheim Cops and Doctor’s Diary. Having attained his master’s degree in Screenwriting at Bournemouth University, UK, in 2012, he quickly set foot as a writer in the German TV landscape working for the award-winning Bavarian daily series Dahoam is Dahoam. After completing Serial Eyes in 2019, Phil has written for a number of successful TV shows mainly within the field of medical drama, such as In aller Freundschaft – Die jungen Ärzte and Die Spreewaldklinik. Along the way, he also branched out to audio in that, from 2020 to 2024, he was co-producer of the international screenwriting podcast Euro Pudding. At the moment, while always being open to all sorts of formats, Phil is focusing on writing in his genres of passion, i.e. crime, thriller and romantic comedy. He lives in Berlin.
