Phills
created the branding for 'The Million Dollar Arm' contest,
a talent hunt competition in India that led to the discovery of the first two
professional baseball pitchers from India. The story of these two pitchers and
the agent who found them inspired Disney Pictures' upcoming movie, Million Dollar Arm, starring Jon Hamm. It will be released May 16th in theaters. Staying true to
the real story, Phills' original
designs can be seen in the film.
Phills also serves as the Chief Technical Officer of Invest
Caribbean Now and sits on the new ICN board.
