Philip J. Cook: King of Homespun CGI

Series Site

What if your afterlife took place in a PS2 cutscene? What if your house turned into a portal to a trans-dimensional realm run on Windows 11? Welcome to the world of Philip J. Cook, where big ideas meet barely-contained digital chaos—and it rips.
For over three decades, Philip J. Cook has been quietly building a parallel cinematic universe from his basement—one where cosmic battles, haunted landscapes, and low-poly monsters live side by side, held together by sheer imagination and a lot of green screen. Working far outside the studio system, Cook’s films embrace the uncanny charm of digital DIY, blending sci-fi, horror, and fantasy into a homespun genre stew that’s as earnest as it is otherworldly. Whether he’s conjuring purgatories or witches, his work pulses with the energy of someone who just really wants to show you something cool—even if he has to render it himself, one frame at a time. Shot on shoestrings and pure conviction, Cook’s films are scrappy, overambitious, and totally unhinged in the best way—proof that you don’t need a Hollywood budget to break reality wide open.
