PHIL MORAN
Producer

Phil has had a wide-ranging career as both a producer and an academic.  He began film-making in 1996 with his short film Jump!, which was a contender in the Welsh International Film Festival the same year.  He lost out to Justin Kerrigan who went on to make Human Traffic, but the film-making bug bit deep and he spent the next decade honing his skills as a film-maker, and attaining a Masters degree in the subject.

In 2003, he left his academic job as a physicist to set up his media company FFAB.  The company has grown year on year, and now has four full-time staff, as well as offices in the UK and Austria.  FFAB produces films across all genres and has had both commercial and artistic success internationally.  Broadcast credits have been received in the US, Israel and many territories in Europe; and clients include the BBC and ITV.  Commercial clients include ATMEL, Austria Microsystems, The International Energy Agency, The Austrian Government and The British Council to name but few.

In 2009, Phil won the Best Film and Best International Cinema awards at a Los Angeles film festival for his disturbing short 11 Missed Calls.  In 2010 he wrote, produced and directed Unseen, a quirky short currently doing the festival circuit.  The film was financed by the city of Vienna.

He continues to develop many projects for film and television, and recently persuaded LA production company The Asylum to bring the production of Grim’s Snow White to Austria.  Phil is associate producer of Journey of a Story, a wartime feature film produced by Earthwire pictures,  New Zealand.  The film is completed and will be released in 2012.
