It was in England that Phil Ox (real name Philippe Nguyen) took the first steps in an eventful career as a TV producer. As an assistant in a London studio, Phil Ox worked with the producer Stephen Frears on My beautiful Laundrette and with Nicolas Roeg on Insignificance. On his return to France he worked at Rock and Folk, reporting from America, Japan and Australia where he met stars including Madonna, David Lynch, U2 and Lars Von Trier. Another famous meeting was the one with Thierry Ardisson, who invited him to join Télé Zébre and to film Week-End avec…, a weekly programme combining animated images and cheeky interviews (Alain Delon, les Inconnus, les Nuls, etc.) In 1992, he founded his own production company, Moi, j’aime la télévision (MJLT) and wrote the screenplay for a fictional story, L’homme électrique, a series of 26 minute episodes about an electrical superhero, upholding the law and endowed with super-powers, who is able to enter an electricity or IT network. A real made in France hero on a par with Batman or Spiderman!
