Peter Levine is a filmmaker born and raised in the Bay Area. A writer and director for film and television, Peter graduated Summa Cum Laude from Cornell University in 2024, studying “The Aesthetics of Visual Storytelling” within a selective independent major program as a College Scholar. He wrote and directed a thesis film titled “Remembering Colin Stall” and wrote an academic thesis, “Does The End Justify The Means?: The Toxic Masculinity Encoded in Auteurism.” This project pushed Cornell’s filmmaking department to new heights. It was made with a $25,000 budget and a fully fleshed out farmhouse set.
Since graduating, Peter has lived in both Los Angeles and New York, working on a collection of film sets and as an assistant. He has spent the last year converting his thesis short into a spec feature script, and is in the process of developing a fantasy, coming-of-age mini-series. Peter aspires to tell compelling stories that awaken the child within himself and others while directing attention to worlds previously unimagined.
