He began his career as a storyboard artist and visual effects specialist at Marin County's Lucasfilm Ltd., working on award-winning feature films, games and interactive media. He formed a production company, Image Garden Productions, which produced the Emmy-winning Classic Stories for Children. Peter followed that success with his first foray into the art house genre with Kuksu, a mind-altering journey into the California wilderness in the 1920s.Having been a Shakespeare student since his undergrad days at the University of Illinois, where he had workshops in England at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre, he produced his controversial Henry V. This offbeat, guerrilla production has been studied extensively in the academic world in several books and essays, notably in Screening Shakespeare in the 21st Century from the University of Edinburgh Press.His most recent film is The Journeyman, a political thriller set in the finance world of today's Europe, and he has recently release his expansion of the story in the novel of the same name.view less
