Robert Philipp
Although Robert has spent most of his adult life in corporate America, he has never lost the love of film. He ultimately decided to pursue his love of film to write and direct documentary films that will take audiences to places they may have never been before and increase their knowledge with different perspectives on various subject matters. ​

His love for travel inspired him to journey to many places where tour guides have never been. For example, Robert was selected to attend a NATO seminar in Belgium through a graduate program at DePaul University. He also visited Eastern Europe behind the Berlin wall when Communism ruled part of Europe. Seeing people of different backgrounds and cultures has opened the door for him in terms of putting these human interest stories on film. He is passionate about what documentary films can offer and is also excited to write and direct feature films.
Robert has lived in the Chicago area all his life. He is excited to live near a city where shooting possibilities are endless.
