Phil Worfel - first assistant director
Phil Worfel is a graduate of Compass College of Cinematic Arts -- where he currently teaches film history and aesthetics -- and earlier studied education at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. Among Phil's credits, he has worked on feature films, written and directed commercials for The Holland Museum and Golden Corral, and developed promotional media for Quixtar, Kids Hope USA, AimWest, and Campus Crusade. He also works as a professional photographer on film sets and for media events. He has previously served as the assistant director on films such as MUGS and HANK DANGER AND THE WOMAN FROM VENUS!
Phil is an incurable, inveterate, and unapologetic film snob who will pontificate and argue for hours on the virtues of Sidney Lumet, the obscenities of Michael Bay, and why The Jazz Singer must be simultaneously revered and reviled. He watched Tron: Legacy seven times in IMAX 3D despite its many flaws, drove four hours to watch Blade Runner on the big screen, and counts seeing Lawrence of Arabia at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood among the great moments of his life.
