About Peter

Writer/producer/director and author based in Minnesota. I produced, directed and co-wrote the indie horror feature "The Control Group," starring genre legend Brad Dourif (Cult of Chucky, Lord of the Rings), which was released to DVD, on-demand, and streaming on Amazon Prime, and is currently being remastered for a global re-release on Blu-Ray and digital platforms.

I have several other projects in development, including a micro-budget horror film with cast attached with several million social media followers.

In 2023, I published my debut horror novel "Xolo," which was described by BlueInk Reviews as "Stephen King's 'Cujo' meets Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds.'" The novel has won rave reviews from several major publications and is currently a finalist in the horror category for the Colorado Independent Publisher's EVVY Awards. I am currently in talks to sell the film /TV rights to the novel, as well as audio and foreign language rights.

As a writer, I have made the finals of several screenwriting contests and published my short story "Anna's Video" in Trigger Warning Short Fiction.
