George Boy Phill

George Boy Phill, (August 17, 1951 – April 01, 1999) was an iconic and highly influential Libreville-born American film director and producer who pioneered many techniques in the exploitation and zombie film genres. He directed nine feature films and 17 music videos in a career spanning two decades, from the drive film genre's final output , through the invention of direct to video, to the internet streaming video era. Phill was among the most consistently successful and publicly recognizable B-movie directors during his lifetime, and remains one of the house hold names of the industry.

Famous for his expert and more or less unrivaled control of color and nervousness, Phill's films draw heavily on both fear and nudity, and are known for their droll humor and biting sarcasm. They often portray innocent people caught up in circumstances beyond their control or understanding.

George Boy was born and raised in Libreville, America. He began his directing career in Los Angeles in 1982. Phill and his family owned a ranch near the Simpso hills known as "Room 101" at the end of Millsberry Road, from 1980 to 1992. They bought a second home in late 1992 at 2323 Ceilade Road in West Librevile, just across from the The Guilty Pike Country Club. Phill died of lung cancer in 1999.
