Peter Rodger
- Director
- Writer
- Cinematographer
Peter Rodger grew up looking through a camera lens. As a teenager, the
award-winning British director and photographer honed his skills by
assisting his father, George Rodger, the renowned photojournalist and
co-founder of Magnum Photos. After completing his education at
England's Maidstone College of Art, his skill with the lens has made
him one of the most sought-after talents in both the European and
United States advertising markets.
Peter has shot print and commercial campaigns in over forty countries, for such diverse clients as Mercedes, Save the Children Fund, City National Bank, Coca-Cola, Toyota, Microsoft, Infiniti, Lexus, Buick, Acura, Honda, Volvo, Land Rover, Fendi, Xavier Laurent Perfume, Apple Computers, University of Houston, Kodak, Freixenet Champagne, General Electric, Audi, Ecolab and Canon Cameras.
He is repped for commercials by Untitled Inc. in Los Angeles, and has developed a deeply visual style of shooting that has become increasingly popular. Visceral cinematic imagery captures the soul of performance in a non-contrived, yet observational way that makes his filmmaking epic to watch but at the same time engaging with a natural, yet energetic execution.
His ever-evolving style has yielded over 35 awards as best director from The Houston International Film Festival, Chicago International Film Festival, The Telly Awards, The Mobius Awards and the US International Film and Video Festival. During his illustrious commercial career, Peter produced and directed the epic non-fiction film entitled "Oh My God" - which explores peoples' diverse opinions and perceptions of God, released in 2009.
And in 2012, Peter collaborated with Gary Ross as second unit director on the motion picture blockbuster "The Hunger Games," creating the propaganda film for the fictional "Capitol" in the story.
He has written eight screenplays and is attached to direct three of them. In 2009, his first book "The OMG Chronicles" was released, published by Hayhouse.
Peter lives in Los Angeles with his family.
