Bio
Pete makes films full of heart: sharply observed, beautifully composed, with a photographer’s eye and a knowing wink. He is well known for placing superstars in meticulously crafted worlds and getting them to behave like actual human beings.
Pete’s filmmaking career started at ground level. He made perhaps millions of cups of tea for possibly the entire British film industry before going on to assist some of the finest directors the UK has ever produced.
He has directed and photographed campaigns for global brands including Budweiser, ASICS, EA Sports, Ffern, Guinness, and worked with an unreasonable number of pro footballers, including seven campaigns with Lionel Messi.
Dr. Dre, Ed Sheeran, Prince William, Gordon Ramsay and Brian Cox have also ended up in front of his camera and only one of these told him to "Fuck Off”.
