Peter J Storey MBA
| Festival Director and founder Peters career began quite a few years ago, when he worked on the floor as a gaffer, working up from the most threadbare of student productions through to major Hollywood. His natural skepticism of hard work left him to retrain, taking a MBA in corporate finance, after which he spent several years producing and organising structured finance for international features. A passion for quality North American indies has led him to set up the Declaration FilmFest to introduce audiences to all the great films that often get missed across the Atlantic. Facts: The biggest gig of his lighting career was covering Princess Diana’s funeral for NBC. He once tried to explain the rules of cricket to Tom Hanks. He once spent 15 minutes chatting up Heather Graham without having the slightest clue who she was. Got completely blown out, as you might expect. How he got involved in the festival: thought it up one night after a few beers. Recommended films : that’s like Sophie’s choice - I love `em all! |
