\n\tFilmmaker Caleb Phillips has found a home at WME. <\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s the latest rep move for Phillips, who also recently signed with Underground, the management firm that is home to Obsession<\/em>\u2018s Curry Barker.<\/p>\n

\n\tPhillips is known for the viral horror short Other Side Of The Box<\/em>, which has amassed more than 30 million views since launching in 2018. It centers on a couple who is gifted a mysterious box \u2014 to disastrous results. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe film became a calling card for Phillips as he honed his skills as a director while working as a crewmember on various productions. He followed it up with Play Me,<\/em>\u00a0centering on a woman who awakens in a car with no memory to discover a man tied up in the backseat. Next to her seat is as a voice recorder with a note reading \u201cplay me.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tPhillips is coming off of the South by Southwest debut of his feature Imposters<\/em>, which he wrote and directed. The genre-bending movie stars Jessica Rothe as a mother desperate to get her baby boy back after he is taken. When she learns of a way to get her son home, her husband (Charlie Barnett) begins to suspect the baby that returned is not actually theirs. It sits at 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes out of the fest\u2019s Midnighter section.<\/p>\n

\n\tHis WME signing comes as filmmakers who cut their teeth online are front and center. Backrooms<\/em>\u2018 Kane Parsons became the youngest filmmaker ever to open a film at No. 1 last weekend, with the feature already standing as A24\u2019s highest grossing movie of all time domestically. Barker\u2019s Obsession<\/em> stands as Focus\u2019 top grossing movie of all time domestically, and had an incredibly rare second and third weekend increase at the box office. <\/p>\n

\nThe Hollywood Reporter <\/em>recently informally surveyed agents, managers and executives to name who from that world is poised for a breakout, and Phillips was among those names.<\/p>\n
