Phil Avalon is one of Australia's most successful independent film produces. In his autobiography From Steel City to Hollywood Phil tells his story of a kid growing up in 'Steel City' ... Newcastle, NSW; his memories as a surfer in the early 1970s; as a struggling actor, a Cleo centrefold and later a writer, director and producer. In 1978, he wrote, produced and starred in arguably Australia's most successful independent film, Summer City, which unearthed young actors Mel Gibson, Steve Bisley and John Jarratt. Since that time, he has made more than a dozen films starring notable Hollywood stars and captured a Masters World Surfing Championship along the way.
