PGC Studios

PGC Studios is an American production company owned by Phillip. G. Carroll Jr. responsible for multiple short films.
Background
Founder Phillip G. Carroll Jr. is an emerging independent filmmaker from the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the founder of PGC Studios, LLC . At the young age of 10, Phillip began to notice the power of stories when he and his brother John first picked up their father's video camera. Together they made a little movie about the adventures of an explorer in a clown wig called Safari John. Soon, screenings of their latest shorts filled with colorful (odd) casts of characters became a tradition at every family party. Phillip continued to make films with his friends and family throughout high school and studied Film & Media Arts at Temple University where his film, Words of Atonement, won Best Undergraduate Film his freshmen year. Phillip strives to tell meaningful stories that capture the truth of the human condition, challenge society’s views and beliefs, and most importantly are a joy to watch. Through the collaboration of many talented artists, Phillip’s award winning films have been screened at festivals around the world, along with four of his films having been streamed on Comcast OnDemand. Among the subjects that are important to Phillip are mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, LGBTQ topics, life and the afterlife, spirituality, immigration, and homelessness. But most importantly to Phillip is that his films make you, the viewer, feel an emotional connection to the rest of the audience and the world around you through joyful laughter, longful tears, or suspenseful screams. Phillip's mission (besides dreaming of directing a James Bond, Star Wars, or Jurassic Park film) is to create movies that ultimately lift the human spirit, promote love, and encourage others to follow their dreams - all in an effort to help people realize that whether your life is like a drama, comedy, or horror film, you are never alone.
PGC's 2014 film How I Won The War was shown at Longshot Film Festival in the UK.
