With over two decades of experience in the entertainment industry, Peter has worked with legendary figures like Steven Spielberg, Dino De Laurentiis, and John Davis, developing projects for major Hollywood studios. 

In addition to his work in fiction, he has directed and written for award-winning documentaries, including AWAKE: The Life of Yogananda, which became an Indie hit in 2014. Beyond film and television, Peter is also an accomplished author, having written Mike Wallace: A Life and Playing to the Gods, a critically acclaimed book on the legendary acting rivalry between Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse.

An advocate for mentorship and creative empowerment, Peter has taught writing and filmmaking at prestigious institutions such as Harvard University, the Los Angeles Film School, and Cal State Fullerton. His expertise extends into music, photography, and personal development, as he and his wife, Paola di Florio, run a production company and creativity lab designed to help others unlock their full artistic potential.
