Meet Our Next Get Repped Now Consider: Philip Elliott

When a Los Angeles family man’s secret neo-Nazi past resurfaces, to avoid life behind bars he must become the man he swore he never again would be and infiltrate a white-supremacist terrorist organization before it seizes the White House.

Let’s hear it for our second consider of 2023: Philip Elliott’s thriller pilot AMERICAN SWASTIKA, which he adapted from his own novel.  “I worked so hard on that script specifically for this opportunity, and it’s quite the shock to have actually achieved it,” said Elliott.

.AMERICAN SWASTIKA has been gathering kudos, including making Coverfly’s Red List, and we can’t wait to introduce this former “drummer for bad punk rock bands” turned novelist/screenwriter to our industry panel.

“I like to say I write ‘punk-glazed neo-noir rooted in complex characters and blend this style with drama, thrillers and horror,” said Elliott. “Essentially, I write thriller/crime/mystery/horror/dark-drama stories, and sometimes a blend thereof, about outsiders and outcasts, misfits and rebels. Those on the fringe. The broken. The forgotten. My protagonists are often flawed antiheroes, and, in the noir tradition, ‘right and wrong’ — morality — is often obscured within shades of gray.”
