phil-borg-actor-3

I am a Toronto-based writer/director who has worked in film, TV, and web.

My first feature, NEW YEAR (2010), won Best Film, Best Actress, and Best Soundtrack at the Clearwater Film Festival and is available internationally through The Orchard, and domestically by Multiple Media Entertainment. It has played on Rogers OnDemand, and is available for digital download on Amazon and iTunes. His subsequent short film, VIRTUAL HITMAN (2015), premiered at the 2015 Reelworld Film Festival, and has since gone on to play at the 2015 Cannes Shorts Corner, various North American comic cons, and the 2015 Vancouver Asian Film Festival, where it won Best Canadian Short. His latest short film, THE BOOGEYMAN (2022), recently won Best Short and Best Actor at Horrorrama Toronto, and is currently running the festival circuit.

As an actor, I am classically trained, and an alumnus of LAMDA in the UK, Humber College in Toronto, and Queen’s University in Kingston, ON. I have performed in both professional and amateur film and theatre, domestically and abroad. I moved to Toronto in 2006 and has since held roles in broadcast TV, film and various commercials, including UMBRELLA ACADEMY, 12 MONKEYS, MURDOCH MYSTERIES, and RABID. Check out my Acting demo on my “Acting” page.
