Bugsy Jones

Born Craig Phillips and the founder of TALL TAL.ES, the content producer and author’s pen name was derived from an infamous relative from the 50’s. Craig began his professional ‘telling-tales’ career writing country music for Sony & BMG and has since written hundreds of diverse songs spanning all genres with several Top 40 charting compositions. Following the completion of his master class in the early 2000s with the renown screenwriter Michael Hauge, Craig has penned many short stories and a handful of acclaimed screenplays, three of which have been optioned by European production companies over the years.
