Introduce Yourself : Peter Elliott Introduction by Peter Elliott

Hi! I am a writer and actor originally from Virginia. I will graduate in May 2016 with a B.A. in Screenwriting from Loyola Marymount University's School of Film & Television. I enjoy writing dark character studies that provide insight into the murky grays and nuances of the human condition. In the past six months, I have written two features, a pilot, a play, and co-wrote and will star in Jared Selcer's upcoming LMU thesis film, Embers. I am also currently in the development stages on five other projects. I just recently received his SAG-AFTRA eligibility after booking a principal role in a series of commercials for the MTV Video Music Awards. I am a member of the LOFT Ensemble Theatre in DTLA, and just wrapped filming on Familiar at Dinner, a graduate thesis film at the New York Film Academy, in which I played the lead. My main goal in life is to create compelling, cinematic characters that people care about and identify with. I am also overjoyed to announce that my pilot has been selected as a semi-finalist for the Stage 32 Happy Writers TV Fellowship!
