Philip C. Sedgwick

 

Philip wrote his first script at the prompting of a writer friend. He entered his second script, Neon Cactus, into the Academy's Nicholl Fellowship. The screenplay placed as a Quarter-Finalist in the prestigious competition. Since that time, a library of his screenplays and films have received acclaim from film festivals, fellowships and competitions. Philip's spec scripts are available for purchase and production. As well, he is available for script consultation, work-for-hire assignments and directing short films.

Philip's Bio

 

Philip was brought onboard to write the narration script for the feature documentary, THROUGH THE LENS. This doc traces the history of aerial photography from the mid-19th Century to the present and where sky-based image evolves next.

In March 2024, Philip will direct Lesley Lillywhite's evocative Mardi Gras murder mayhem script, UNBRIDLED, in Tucson, Arizona.

Director of Silicon Valley Film Festival, Christina July Kim, took a liking to my script METEORIC following the festival success of ZAP!, including in her festival. She served as Executive Producer, Producer and acted in a key role in the film. METEORIC's narrative was based upon a meteor impact in Arizona in 2016. Other amazing talent in this film: Kincaid Walker, and returning for their third film in one of my scripts, both the remarkable Sam Whitten and Joel Foster.

Early in 2020 word came in that, ZAP!, a short script penned by Philip, won 1st Place in the Phoenix Film Festival's Short Screenplay Search.

That clinched it. ZAP! had to be made! On a gorgeous Arizona night, socially-distanced, masked up and with coronavirus cautions in place, ZAP! was filmed on our property in Tucson, Arizona. Our local pack of coyotes chimed in and at exactly the write spot - the coyotes are now seeking SAG-eligibility..

ZAP! garnered heaps of festival selections, nominations and awards. Appropriately, the film came full circle with selection in the 2021 Phoenix Film Festival!
