About Phil Pirrello

On Phil's first day of work in Hollywood, Steven Spielberg asked him for a donut. Not bad for a kid from Erie, PA who went on to have over 10 years experience managing and writing for high-profile entertainment sites like The Hollywood Reporter, Collider, Moviefone, Fandango and IGN. Prior to that, Phil worked for Paramount Pictures' Marketing group on such films as MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III, CLOVERFIELD, TRANSFORMERS, and STAR TREK. When he's not writing about or watching movies, he's obsessed with his dog - as you can see from his tweets.
