WHO IS PHILIP CARRER?
Who is Philip Carrer? Philip Carrer is a Canadian Screenwriter and Director. He developed his love for the arts at an early age, studying classical piano at the Suzuki School of Music. This training provided him with the opportunity to open for internationally acclaimed conductor/violinist Yehudi Menuhin
It was during his education studying piano that Philip began his progression into film. His introduction to this industry happened when a selection of his music was featured in the international rock climbing documentary Frequent Flyers (2000).
During his studies at the University of Guelph, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Theatre Studies, Philip continued to pursue his interest in film. His first project was the low-budget horror feature film Desperate Souls (2005), where he was the co-writer and co-director. This film was subsequently distributed by Lions Gate and Alliance Atlantis.
Following the success of Desperate Souls, Philip added to his directing portfolio with the feature films KILL (2006) Failing Light (2008) and the experimental short film Umbrella Rod (2008)
Not limiting himself to narrative features, Philip has also directed the live-action promotional trailer for Septagon Studios comic book Masks (2008). The project stretched the boundaries of current comic book trailers, by matching live action footage to images created by the artist of Masks.

Always up for a challenge, Carrer has also embraced the medium of music video production. Past projects such as Bourgeois Cyborg's - Cranky Banditz and Cradle to Grave's - Projectil provided him with the technical and artistic vision for the videos Everything You Need by Leeroy Thornhill and Unhinged by Redeemer, which have allowed Carrer to increase his creative vision.

Redeemer Unhinged: Music Album
Carrer is in development of Redeemer's new music
for their track Unhinged. Their catchy,groove-laden
heavy sound has established the band as a serious
force to be reckoned with and their smoldering live
shows leave their disciples chanting for more while
winning over those just awakened to the revolution.
