Rossa McPhillips
Awarded an MBE for his time in British Military Intelligence and commended for his work in Met Counter Terrorism, Galway-born screenwriter Rossa McPhillips brings bulletproof authenticity to the screen. Currently being mentored by industry heavyweights Hat Trick Mercurio and Danu Media, this breakout working-class voice has already served as the trusted on-set technical advisor for hit prime-time thrillers including Red Eye, Trigger Point, and Silent Witness.
His premium writing slate spans major franchises like BBC’s Doctors and Doctor Who audio dramas, peaking with his critically acclaimed BBC Radio 4 spy drama, Bettaney (May 2026), which The Radio Times and The Observer lauded as "compelling" and "revealing." He has also expanded into feature films with the horror screenplay Blood and Snow, establishing a highly versatile portfolio rooted in high-stakes suspense.
Rossa specialises in gripping, institutional thrillers with original TV projects currently in active development. These include Enclave, a high-concept prison siege where a secret government wiretapping program faces exposure, and The Circuit, a tense procedural tracking corporate mercenaries encroaching on sensitive UK counter-terrorism operations.
