A graduate of New York University's Experimental Theater Wing, Linas Phillips started out as a live performer of experimental theater and alternative comedy while living in New York City. Linas' day job for over 5 years was babysitting special needs kids, with whom he started making short videos.
After many years of performing comedy and experimental theater work in New York City Linas switched to making films in 2006. His first film, "Walking To Werner", documenting his 1,200 mile walk from Seattle to LA to meet Werner Herzog, earned him a spot in Filmmaker Magazine's list of 25 New Faces in Independent Film. His third feature "Bass Ackwards", which he wrote, acted in and directed, premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Recently he guest starred in an episode of Eastbound and Down (Season 4) and is set to act opposite Jay Duplass in writer/director J. Davis' "Manson Family Vacation".
