Team About Us SIDEKICK PICTURES is an independent production company led by award-winning writer / director / producer team Chris Phillips and Steve Vidler. We create screen stories that engage hearts and open minds. Chris Phillips Head of Development Chris grew up at Manly Beach in Australia - a perfect location for a professional daydreamer. She has worked as a Writer and Script Producer in Australian Network Television for over 20 years. Her passion is writing female-centred stories that tug on the loose threads in the fabric of reality. Steve Vidler Director Steve grew up in the Australian Outback - in a family of Vietnam vets. He escaped into stories. And hasn't come out yet. He's worked as an Actor, Writer, Script Developer, Producer and Lecturer (the research PhD in the cognitive science of audience empathy comes in handy occasionally). Steve loves creating smart genre with heart. FULL CV FULL CV Our Address 5362 Clinton StLarchmont VillageLA 90004Contact us
