Todd Phillips Rotten Tomatoes

Todd Phillips set out to film a documentary about the controversial feces-slinging musician while still a student at N.Y.U. His documentary had such a unique subject matter, to begin with, it would have been hard to make the documentary uninteresting, though, he had no-holds-barred, to guerilla approach and keen editing skills, that the film became with as an instant underground sensation (pegged by many as a funnier, true-to-life version of Spinal Tap) and that paved the way for Phillips to continue honing his notable documentarian skills.

After producing he produced an insightful look into the life of Screw magazine publisher Al Goldstein (Screwed) in 1996, and Todd returned to the director’s chair with a scathing and unflinchingly graphic portrayal of college hazing rituals in Frat House (1998).

He was Produced as an installment in the HBO’s popular America Undercover series, and the film took the Grand Jury Prize for Documentaries at the Sundance Film Festival before it became a marred controversy and shelved by HBO due to questions of authenticity and complaints from the subjects.

Though Todd admits the feelings of disappointment over the fact that the film never reached a large audience, the film continues to circulate heavily on the gray market and he continues to push for a suitable release for the acclaimed film.

It wasn’t long before when he decided to expand his horizons, after meeting producer Ivan Reitman and directing polarizing MTV funnyman Tom Green in a series of Pepsi One commercials, in the established documentary filmmaker who made a leap to a fictional feature with Road Trip in 2000.
