Introduction

Phillip Avalon (b 24 February 1955) is an Australian writer, producer, director and actor of films and TV.
Film writer Scott Murray wrote in 1993 that:

If Australia has any producer-cum-auteurs, then Phillip Avalon is certainly one... Avalon's films are preoccupied with violence bubbling to the surface in a lower-middle-class society repressed by Christian and materialist values. He has a decided affinity for the topsider, for those who refuse to play society's games, and whose anti-social attitudes may, in fact, conceal a soul well attuned to life's pulses.
