Why Read Ripple

Synopsis
Ripple tracks a parent’s worst-case scenario pushed into a professional’s skill set. The pilot starts in motion and sustains pressure: clean reversals, geographical clarity, and a ticking personal clock. It’s designed for lean directing and crisp editorial coverage—no fat, no confusion, all consequence.

About Phil
I write action-thrillers with pace and clarity. Comedy instincts sharpen character—but tension is the point. I've worked with Broken Lizard (Tacoma FD, Quasi, Super Troopers 3), A24, Searchlight, Hulu, & Netflix in support and producer roles. I have a BFA in Film Story Development and was a Robert Redford Scholar in Screenwriting. In 2024, a stage 3A colon cancer battle reset my priorities: death is real, life has stakes, and every page should move. I own a digital marketing agency and work with NY Times Best-Selling Authors and $100 Million retail brands, and I've helped market Films and TV shows on Social Media, so I’m not friendly and outcome-driven. If you want clarity, escalation, and a collaborator who executes, we’ll get along.
