Novelist-Screenwriter-Producer- Phil Nutman
First published at age 15, expatriate Englishman Philip Nutman's writing career began inauspiciously as a movie reviewer for VENUE, a Village Voice type publication which covered the arts and entertainment scenes in the cities of Bath and Bristol in England's West Country. By the age of 18, he began contributing feature articles to international film magazines such as L'ECRAN FANTASTIQUE (France), SEGNO CINEMA (Italy) and FANGORIA (US), becoming the latter's first British Correspondent, a position he held for over ten years. For FANGORIA, he wrote over 120 feature articles (many of them cover stories) and reported on the making of many of the top horror films of the 1980s.
While freelancing as a media journalist in his spare time, he worked for five years as a producer's assistant for BBC TV, working on programs ranging from sit-coms to dramas of the Masterpiece Theater variety, contemporary thrillers such as EDGE OF DARKNESS to numerous arts-oriented documentaries. Quitting the BBC when he was 24 to devote his time exclusively to writing, he continued as a journalist while making his first serious inroads into fiction. With over 1,500 feature articles to his credit, his work can be found in magazines ranging from PENTHOUSE, MELODY MAKER, SPIN, TWILIGHT ZONE MAGAZINE,COMICS SCENE, GALLERY, THE COMIC BUYER'S GUIDE, METAL HAMMER, GOREZONE, THE ATLANTA BUSINESS CHRONICLE, ATLANTA NOW and numerous European publications including VENDREDI 13.
