"Phil was awesome to work with! Having him as the music composer on my film, really took the film to another level and emphasised the feeling we were looking for. He is really talented and was very good at understanding the directors wishes, listening to feedback and also coming up with his own ideas and input. Best of all he was super dedicated and put his heart and soul into the film. I really hope to work with him again in the future!"

“I first heard Phil's work on Anna Mantzaris's films and thought it was brilliant, so I was thrilled he was able to work on my film Creepy Pasta Salad. Phil is a joy to collaborate with, and his music has brought so much to the film. He's flexible about trying new things, and always so positive and professional. Talking through ideas with Phil and receiving new pieces of music from him has reinvigorated me when things have got tough! I can't recommend him enough.”

“Phil Brookes is a fantastic musician and a really rare talent. Having worked with Phil on my short stop motion film ‘Three’s a Crowd’ I have nothing but praise for him. He is prompt, professional and delivers to a high standard. He totally tunes (pardon the pun) into what the director is trying to get from the film. From the feel, the pace to the mood and the timing – Phil understands this and really brings the film to life… And he’s a good bloke too! I will defiantly be working with Phil again.”

“I first got to work with Phil when I exchanged over to Wales for University. In this project (Crow…) the music was essential and Phil understood what I wanted to bring forth. The result was awesome and exactly what I wanted! So in my next project (But Milk is Important) there was no doubt who to contact. Even though it was across borders (as I had moved home to Norway) the communication was great and the result helped us win our first award!” (The first of over twenty awards, across the world)

“Phil was incredible to work with, he knew exactly what I wanted as a director and a sound designer. He took on feedback and bought his own ideas to the table, which helped bring Angel Of Death to a whole new level. His music builds up the suspense and anticipation and has a great pay-off, working seamlessly with all the other elements of the film to create the perfect atmosphere. As we were pushed for time, he worked quickly and to an incredibly high standard. He’s a lovely talented guy and an absolute pleasure to work with.”
