Phil Dunn

Phil Dunn is a director, writer, poet and owner of London based production company Authentive. Phil began making films as a teenager with his cousins. Their first effort, "Mission Improbable", later went on to win a short film competition and was included on the international DVD release of the movie "Son of Rambow" (2007). Since then, Phil set up Authentive and has been making videos for a wide range of clients for over a decade. Recently though, he has begun to use his filmmaking skills to tell his own stories again, with the help of the many like-minded collaborators he has developed relationships with over the years. His short, Box Office Smash (2018) (2018), therefore marked a jumping off point in his filmmaking career as he ventured in the direction of his passions. The film won 14 awards in festivals around the world, in several categories, including Best in Festival, Best Short Film, and Best Director. His second film, About (2020) (2020) is currently on the festival circuit.
