Since the start of his film career at George Lucas' famed Skywalker
Ranch, Peter Szewczyk has had a front row seat to the crafting of
Hollywood blockbusters by the modern masters of cinema. While sitting
through what Szewczyk calls "a decade of dailies" with the likes of
James Cameron and George Lucas, he studied each director's approach to
storytelling. Szewczyk contributed as an artist and technician to the
legendary franchises of Harry Potter, Shrek, Star Wars and Ice Age, but
it was not until his time on Avatar that he felt he was ready to leave
the trenches of digital production, for the challenges of directing. A
string of award-winning short films followed, including the festival
favourites, ColourBleed and Our Lady Of Lourdes, showcasing his ability
to blend emotional story-telling with arresting imagery.
