In an administrative capacity, he served as Personnel Manager and Production Manager. He was awarded "Best Supporting Member" and made his first film "Don't Look Twice," which he wrote, produced, directed, shot and edited. He originally entered Sciences at UBC and made the switch to the Film Program, taking courses that included Film Production (camera, lighting, directing, editing, sound), Animation, Screen Writing, Music for Film, Film History and Theory. He worked on over 10 short films, in all aspects of production.

In 1986, Peter graduated from the UBC Film Program and co-founded Creative Image Film & Video Productions Inc. in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In 1987, he sold his one hour drama, "Psychic Avenger," to First Choice and Superchannel pay TV. His credits included writer, producer, director, cameraman and editor.
