Peet studied Graphic Arts in Rotterdam and has been working as a director/editor/motion designer in television, commercials and broadcast design for over 15 years. He directed corporate films for Philips, station IDs for Dutch TV channel Talpa and several trailers and promos for clients like Universal Pictures, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon.
The short “Out of Sync” marks his official fiction film debut. It received a Special Mention at the 2010 I’ve Seen Films International Film Festival in Milan. In 2007, Peet won the Socutera Award for a public announcement for the Dutch Brain Disease Foundation. His Talpa IDs were awarded a Bronzen Button in 2006 and his TV program “Waar is De Mol?” was nominated for the 2008 Beeld & Geluid Awards.
Peet has published several essays on cinema on websites such as The House Next Door, 24LiesASecond and Lost in Negative Space. He also created the comic strip series Directorama, which chronicles the afterlife of a pantheon of legendary directors – among them Bergman, Hitchcock and Welles – duking it out for artistic supremacy.
