Phillip Frey grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, where he performed as a child actor at The Cleveland Playhouse.  The day after he graduated high school he moved to Los Angeles and performed in local theater.  Phillip then moved to New York, where he performed with The New York Shakespeare Festival, followed by The Repertory Theatre of Lincoln Center.  With a change of interest he wrote, directed, and edited 3 short films, all of which had international showings, including The New York Film Festival.  With yet another change of interest he returned to Los Angeles to become a produced screenwriter.  And now more recently, "Dangerous Times," "HYM and HUR," and a short story collection are Phillip Frey's first works of fiction. 

As a screenwriter I have sole screen credit on one theatrically-released feature. The rest of my professional film work has included treatments and rewrites.

DANGEROUS TIMES
This crime story focuses on race relations, religion, greed, and financial hardship — all wrapped up in betrayal, sex, violence and murder. Sort of like Jim Thompson meets Charles Bukowski. John Kirk leads a troublesome life in San Pedro, common troubles that escalate to the dreadful when Frank Moore comes to town. John Kirk, hunted down and pegged for death without knowing why.

HYM and HUR
In this fantasy-comedy Hym and Hur are a young couple who never age and have been in love for more than a century. They also possess an array of magical abilities, two of which are either to play pranks on humankind or to perform good deeds. Enacting both at the same time is now what gets them into trouble, especially since it's the unruly character of Death they must deal with to bring their plans to fruition.
