Peter Herold is a director, writer and actor. Fascinated by performance, film, and storytelling, Peter began acting in childhood, starring in productions ranging from Shakespeare to contemporary theater. Growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by the age of five he had four parents-all psychologists. A bizarre upbringing that instilled in him a strong, universal understanding of the human condition. Through cinema, he yearned to challenge and explore different perspectives that complicated that condition. At 22 he got stabbed in the jugular-and blinked temporarily out of existence. When he woke, the lens in which he viewed the world had shifted. He left the comfort of his corporate job behind in pursuit of honing his artistry. He won 1st Place, Best in Show, at the Ypsi 24-Hour Film Shootout for his retro 80's horror film Cycle of the Blessed (2017). He starred and associate produced his first full length feature film, Kid Brother (2017), for which he was nominated at the 2018 Eclipse Awards for Best Supporting Actor. He directed his first solo project, a short film titled; Midnight Light (2018). Created for the Detroit 48 Hour Film Festival, Peter took home Best Director. The film also won Best Acting, Audience Favorite and Best In Genre. He looks forward to beginning production on his directorial debut, slated for release 2019. Peter's range and process are driven by his commitment to his community and beloved craft. To learn more about upcoming or past endeavors, visit Peter's IMDB page here. Hide
