THE LAST GRIND (2024)
THE NEW BREED (2020)
HOWDY! I’M PETE— I EXIST TO MAKE MOVIES.
I dig authentic original stories that reveal hidden truths about the modern world. Most of my stuff combines narrative and documentary, mashes genres and sits somewhere between art-house and mainstream.
I’m a nomadic, truth-seeking, deep-feeling humanist who despises prejudice, inequality and superstition and adores beauty, innocence and sincerity. I’m a voracious reader, an obsessive cinephile and culture addict. I’ll go to insane lengths to get projects made that I truly believe in and adore working with brave, intelligent, free-thinking folk who share similar values.
IN DEVELOPMENT
SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS
An Afghan farmer sets out on a dangerous journey through the mountains with his donkeys, but an act of shocking brutality results in his death and the downfall of Australia’s most famous soldier. A true story.
THE HOLY THORN
A tiny outback town becomes a religious pilgrimage destination after the discovery of a holy relic. A skeptical young local questions its authenticity and becomes the target of dark forces determined to silence her.
