Trivia

Attended NYU Film School but dropped out before graduation to promote his first documentary Hated (1994).

Originally meant to direct Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006), however he quit the production after shooting the infamous rodeo/"Star Spangled Banner" scene, due to creative differences with Sacha Baron Cohen.

A co-creator of the New York Underground Film Festival (along with Andrew Gurland), Phillips was an expert at playing the media and causing sensation. He made a name for himself with "Hated" and latched on to the controversy surrounding the documentary Chicken Hawk: Men Who Love Boys (1994).
