For Peter, the journey to becoming an award winning Director, Cinematographer, Creative Director and YouTube Certified Strategist didn’t start on a film set. It started in the kitchen. Chef's at Aria, Tru, Trio, Red Light and Charlie Trotter's taught Peter the principles of “mise en place.” When all of your ingredients are measured, cut and peeled; your pans, mixing bowls, and tools are in their place, assembling seemingly impossible dishes becomes routine. Peter is someone for whom directing, cinematography, editing, photography, and producing aren’t distinct career silos. They’re ingredients. They’re tools. They’re stages in a process that, with the proper preparation, can be brought together at the perfect time. Peter has used this chef-like discipline to become one of Chicago’s most prolific media creators. In his career he has made billions of impressions. Regardless of the medium. He excels at taking strategic concepts through to execution without big crews or bureaucratic teams. It’s all the hard work that makes things look effortless.

For the past decade, I have been a core member of Playground Social, a Chicago-based creative collective of directors, writers, cinematographers, editors, producers, and performers brought together by their passion for filmmaking and curating live experiences. We have produced short films, comedy sketches, music videos, original plays, and live-stream shows, one of which was voted “Best Digital Play” by the Chicago Reader in 2023. As a freelance video editor, I have worked on a variety of documentary shorts, docuseries, industrial, promotional, and educational videos. Currently, I am editing the 15-part docuseries, “Train of Thoughts”, an immersive and interactive storytelling experience that highlights stories of Bronzeville. This socially conscious project’s goal is to spark growth in neglected Chicago communities. I am a highly-driven, reliable individual who would love to be part of your team and help share your stories with the world.

Chicago born, suburban raised, I acquired a taste for illustrating and creating visual stories at the age of 4. Fast forward and I’m messing around in animation and post production. With a Bachelors of Arts in Animation under my belt, I’m interested in working in digital creative efforts and collaborative animation projects. Having experience in a handful of internships, I’m always looking for opportunities to grow and become involved in the animation industry. One thing that gets me in the zone is when an idea or concept is successfully brought to life/shared with the audience. Communicating in that level with others inspires me to continue to work and practice in the craft, and it’s why I love it.

I’m a video editor focused on non-fiction storytelling. I am drawn to documentaries, doc-series, and shorts that showcase the complex issues in our society and push us to learn and change so that we may all thrive. I’ve worked for several non-profits, but my experience with Planned Parenthood Federation of America allowed me to focus on work deeply aligned with my values. What I enjoy most about editing is receiving all the building blocks of a film or video, problem-solving as issues arise, and inserting my creativity to create the most engaging product possible.
