Starting out as an actor, Philip Barantini had a super-successful career under his belt - starring in hits like Sky One's Dream Team, Stephen Spielberg's Band Of Brothers and opposite Heath Ledger in Ned Kelly.
A decade-long battle with drink and drugs would see this success come tumbling down around him, leaving Phil struggling to get work.
After his mum's death in 2017, Phil's mindset shifted massively, as he started creating new work on his own terms. Boiling Point was born - a short film, turned BAFTA-nominated feature and now a 5-part BBC TV drama!
