At the age of 10, Peter Rhoads won the prestigious "Von Buren" award
for excellence in fine arts at the Shipley School. This award took the
notice of the Welsh painter, Janet Reed, spurring an apprenticeship
that lasted close to a decade. Upon entering high-school, Rhoads won
the congressional art award for his Ciaro-Scuro drawings. It was not
long before Rhoads changed his primary medium to film, but not before
winning the prestigious "Flavel Sweeten Luther award" for a graphite
rendering at Trinity College. Rhoads began his film studies first in
Australia, at Sydney's University of New South Wales, and completed
them at Trinity College in Connecticut.
After moving to New York in 1997, Rhoads attended the International Center of Photography. Upon completion, he moved to Milan, Italy, returning to the United States in January of 2001.
Moving to Los Angeles in March, Rhoads worked in the camera department under Cinematographer Jonathan Brown. It was on the set of Universal Studios' "Big Fat Liar," (2002) that Rhoads met Director Shawn Levy. Shortly after, Rhoads began a yearlong apprenticeship under Levy. This collaboration continued through the Fox Studio film, "Just Married," (2003).
In 2002, he formed Signal H Films. Under this banner he directed the short film "Patching Cabbage" (2003).
