Peter took the opportunity to pursue this passion at third level and attended the National Film School at IADT in Dublin. Here, his graduate documentary film, Rose, a study about his mother and grandmother's relationship after the onset of Alzheimer’s, won awards at the Royal Television Society and screened at festivals across the globe. Following his college success, Peter gained practical experience interning at Event Junkies and eventually worked his way up to join the roster of Directors at their sister company Motherland.
