Kevin, Sam and Rob are founding members of Foolproof, a club where, through high-tech, meticulously thought-out and executed plans, impossible heists are pulled off – in theory, that is. But all that changes when Leo, a cutthroat gangster, blackmails them into actually carrying out a multi-million-dollar robbery. Kevin, Sam and Rob have no choice – they need a foolproof plan to pull off Leo's heist and, ultimately, to get out alive.
Foolproof is writer/director William Phillips’s second feature-length film. Treed Murray (2001), his first feature, was nominated for five Genie Awards and went on to win two awards. After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1986, Phillips entered the Film Studies Program at Ryerson University. From 1991 through 1995 he operated Grandview Productions, an independent film and video production company. He then went on to write and direct the award-winning short drama Milkman. In 1998, he completed the director’s residency at the Canadian Film Centre, where he wrote and directed the short film Deep Cut. This film toured international film festivals and was broadcast in Canada, the United States, Denmark, Spain and on Air Canada flights.
