- My Bio:
- I am a filmmaker from Vancouver, Canada. I have worked in
the Film and Television Industry for over 35 years - as a
film director, television producer, first assistant director
and TV Series creative consultant.
I have Directed over 30 episodes of Television Drama and I

14 International film awards.
As a First Assistant Director, I have worked on feature
films such as "Dawn of the Dead", "Personal Effects", "The
Butterfly Effect", "Happy Gilmore" and "The Fly II."
Actors I have worked with include Peter O'Toole, Kevin
Spacey, Morgan Freeman, Halle Berry, John Travolta, Kathy
Bates, Michelle Pfiefer, Marcia Gaye Harden, Madeleine
Stowe, Mel Gibson, Ashton Kutcher and Adam Sandler.
I am a part-time directing instructor at the Vancouver Film
School. I have also been a guest instructor at the Directors
Guild of Canada, Victoria Motion Picture School, Capilano
College and Gastown Actor's Studio.
As a professional speaker and workshop facilitator, I have

have presented over the past 20 years - from Canada to
Singapore to Dubai.

- With my partner, Trilby Jeeves, I teach film directing and acting for the camera workshops around the world. We also give workshops and seminars to creative people on how to use the internet and social media for marketing and promoting their services or their products.
- I charge a fee of:
- $1500-$5K
"I have taken several directing courses and Peter's course by far, takes the gold star. This impressive, condensed seminar saturates years of experience and learning and presents it in an easy to use package. A definite recommendation." Trevor McWhinney - Vancouver, Canada
"First, I would like to say thanks to Peter Marshall, he has been an inspiration to me. It was a great course, very helpful and useful. I got a good idea about directing and it's politics and how it works. Peter's workshop was very effective and overwhelming."
Shaima Tahboub, Dubai, UAE
“You guys are very sincere and dedicated! We shared so much during the 3 days. For this workshop, we directors, producers, and artists were able to understand more of each others difficulties and inner feelings during production period. You two have enlightened us so much. Thank you, God bless!” Taykok Peng Edmund, Singapore
"I haven't felt so intellectually stimulated since college. Thoroughly engaging and informative. Beautifully taught in balancing logic and creativity. Whenever the next one is.... I'm there." Tim Claffey - Chicago Il, USA
"I have taken many Directing/Editing & Filmmaking courses, all over the world. Peter is an excellent teacher. He was able to describe directorial feelings and intuition in a simple manner. Many people can direct, but teaching someone to direct is extremely difficult. Peter has mastered the sort of teaching. Thanks for helping me open my mind and unlocking my creative soul." Melissa Stubbs - West Vancouver, Canada
“Really, really enjoyed the class! Been waiting for a class like this for a long time, and it has finally happened. All my answers are there. What I have been looking for all the years that I have been directing, has all been put into perspective. All a clearer picture. I have gained so much from this experience and treasure. Thank you..” Ian Seymour, Singapore

Art IS a necessity of life!
"Food, water and shelter have always been considered essential for human survival, but our souls and our intellects need nourishment, too. I can't get the image out of my mind.

One of my good friends and a very successful speaker views himself as an actor who happens to speak.

After only six weeks, we have 1,600+ members. That's good for all of us. The more speakers we have, the more event planners we’ll attract – the more opportunities for connecting more speakers with more audiences.
So, I’m wondering: How did you hear about SpeakerSite? Please send me a message.
Anyway, it’s good for you — and all of us — if your profile is great and if you help spread the word. Here are links to two pages that can help:
1. How to Make the Most of Your SpeakerSite Profile.
2. How to Spread the Word About SpeakerSite.
Also, you might need to finetune how much email you get from SpeakerSite. It takes a little work. Here is some advice on the issue.
Feel free to join (or start) Groups -- or put any question in the Forum area. (Of course, make sure your message is appropriate for the particular Forum discussion you‘re visiting.) And feel free to contact me or Rob Emrich. We are here for you.
May 2009 bring you only happiness!
Thanks!
A very impressive background and contribution to your industry.
No doubt you will find speakersite wealth of networking opportunities.
All the best for 2009 and beyond.
