I'm Peter D. Marshall, a filmmaker from Vancouver, Canada.

I have worked (and survived!) in the Film and Television Industry for over 33 years - as a Film Director, Television Producer, First Assistant Director and Series Creative Consultant.

 

In 2000, I created my website, ActionCutPrint.com and began to publish the free monthly ezine, The Director's Chair which is presently read in over 100 countries around the world.

I have Directed over 30 episodes of Television Drama such as "John Woo's Once a Thief", "Wiseguy", "21 Jumpstreet", "Neon Rider", "The Black Stallion", "Scene of the Crime", "Big Wolf on Campus" and "Largo Winch."

As a First Assistant Director, I have worked on over 10 Features (including "Dawn of the Dead", "The Butterfly Effect", "Happy Gilmore", "The Fly II"); 15 Television Movies; 7 Television Series; and over 20 Commercials.

I have written, directed or produced over 50 hours of documentary and educational programs and my documentaries and dramas have won, or been nominated for, 14 International film awards.

I have worked for directors such as John Woo, Phillip Noyce, Ed Zwick, John Badham, Roger Vadim, Dennis Dugan, Anne Wheeler and Zack Snyder.

I have worked with actors such as Peter O'Toole, Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, John Travolta, Marcia Gaye Harden, Madeleine Stowe, Mel Gibson and Adam Sandler.

I have been a guest directing instructor at the Vancouver Film School, the Directors Guild of Canada, Victoria Motion Picture School and Capilano College.

I have also developed several filmmaking workshops and seminars that I have presented over the past 15 years - from Canada to Singapore to Dubai.
