About Peter

Peter is a writer, actor, and filmmaker. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama from New York University. His work excavates personal, platonic and sexual intimacy, while reckoning with themes of friendship, grief, shame, and gender. His writing has appeared in Byline and Book of the Month’s Volume Ø. 

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).
