He’s traveled around the world numerous times to direct documentaries, lifestyle, and product launch keynote films for Apple. His series of short films and commercials for AXE starring Chinese celebrity Edison Chen helped launch the brand in China for the very first time. Peter even returned to his original love of music videos to collaborate alongside Academy Award winning director Spike Jonze for the Beastie Boys final video Don’t Play No Games That I Can’t Win.
