Philippe Lefebvre

Actor, writer and director, also producer · Born December 17, 1968 (57) · France

Philippe Lefebvre (born 17 December 1968) is a French actor and screenwriter. He performed in more than fifty films since 1981. Phillip Lefebvre worked as the Music Mixer on the film, Rabid Grannies. Music Mixers are tasked with making the original music in the film (provided by Jean-Bruno Castelain and Pierre-Damien Castelain) sound professional. This can be achieved by simply adjusting the volume of different musical elements of the score. However, it can quickly become more complex depending on the type of music used. Phillip has an extensive filmography, working on The Judge (1984) as director and writer, Antoine Rives, juge de terrorisme (1993) directing five episodes. He also directed an episode of C’est votre historie in 2007 and directed and wrote the screenplay for Une suit (2012). His only music mixing credit is for Rabid Grannies.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
