About Peter
Peter and his collaborator Madeline Mahoney were awarded Best Writer & Best Comedy in the Digital Short Series competition at SeriesFest 2023 for their short film, Pear, directed by Betsy Kenney. The film also screened at Nashville Film Festival, FilmQuest, and Flickers’ Rhode Island’s Vortex Festival. Most recently, his feature film script HAGS was selected by Turtle Run Entertainment’s Pitch Deck Accelerator, an intensive lab program designed to take high-potential independent film projects from development to investor-readiness.
Peter’s debut short film fix, starring Jack Haven and Annie Young, premiered at the 2019 Tacoma Film Festival and on NoBudge where it won Audience Favorite in March 2020.
As a translator, Peter has translated artist interviews for Italian artists writing for English audiences and exhibition catalogues for Villa La Pietra in Florence. He is fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish.
Recent acting credits include: Charlie in Pear (2022), Connor in How to Catfish Your Ex (2023), Daniel in Fix (2020).

“Molesworth creates vivid atmosphere in minimal yet potent ways, and gets wonderful performances from Jack Haven and Annie Young, expressive in their silence and their resolve.“
“Sharp, witty dialogue- both spoken and physically. Where’s the second episode? Madeline and Peter created a fully realized world that invited you in and you wanted to stay. Insightful and satirical with good banter- we all want to see more.”
