Surrounded by opera as a child and trained as a musician and actor, Los Angeles based award winning film director Peter has always been drawn to melding music and film in his work. He made two Super 8 short films in the early 1990s that played at San Francisco’s Frameline Film Festival, one of which, I Dream of Dorothy, went on to festivals worldwide. In addition to filmmaking, Peter works as an arts producer and fundraiser, having held leadership positions at American Friends of the Louvre, Eighth Blackbird, and the Chicago Cultural Center. He is a DeVos Institute for Arts Management International Fellow, and recipient of grants from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and the California Humanities Council for JIMMY IN SAIGON.
