A rare mix of creativity and analytical insight, Phil Svitek started editing professionally at 15 when he was hired by the first Hospice in America to cut their documentary. He attended Emerson College, studying film and working on more documentary content, like Intrepid Descent, a movie showcasing backcountry skiing in New Hampshire's Tuckerman's Ravine, and Garden Girl, a show teaching urban sustainability. While a senior in college, Emerson alumni Maria Menounos hired Phil to produce and edit her second feature Adventures of Serial Buddies. Thanks to the relationship sparked between Phil and director Keven Undergaro, they teamed up on Keven's creation of the AfterBuzz TV. There, Phil developed revolutionary, fast-turnaround, low-cost methods allowing 150+ weekly shows to broadcast live to millions digitally. Now in his 30s, he's creating contents of all kinds – web series, music videos, films, books, documentaries, podcasts, TV pilots, etc. Most recently he finished directing his first feature, Idyll, and secured distribution for it. Now he's getting ready to publish his first novel while developing his next feature film, In Search of Sunrise. For more info on Phil and his work, visit http://philsvitek.com.
