Director Biography - Phillip Guzman

A standout graduate of Stephen F. Austin University’s film program, Austin-based writer-director Phillip Guzman has shined since bursting onto the scene with “The Lawless”, a crime-thriller made for just $7,500. His follow-up projects “Desdemona: A Love Story”, “2:22”, and “A Kiss and a Promise” have brought numerous festival awards and acclaim. After seeing the latter, Jeffrey Reddick (creator of "Final Destination") personally endorsed him to helm the author’s newest horror franchise, "Dead Awake", Guzman’s first take at both the horror genre and another writer’s material. Though born in south Texas, Guzman spent his formative years growing up in Europe, giving him a unique perspective on the world and cinema from an American. His next feature “200 Hours”, a paranormal horror set in the 80s, is currently in post-production.
