Todd Phillips Biography (2)
Todd Phillips previously directed and co-wrote the hit comedy Road Trip, which was his first major studio release and his first collaboration with The Montecito Picture Company. Phillips is next set to direct Starsky & Hutch, the big-screen version of the popular 1970s cop series, which stars Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Snoop Dogg.
Phillips graduated from New York University Film School in 1994. While attending NYU, he produced and directed his first documentary, Hated, about America's most dangerous punk rocker, GG Allin. The film was released theatrically in the U.S. and Europe.
