Pete directed and co-created the HOW TO DESTROY THE WORLD shorts for the Discovery Channel. These won awards in 2009 at Annecy, Krok, PromaxNY and HAFF, and have been selected for over 20 festivals and dubbed into 16 languages so far.

As Director of Animation at the National Theatre on ‘England People Very Nice’ his work was nominated for an Olivier Award in 2010. The NY Times wrote, ‘The cartoons I’m talking about are the real thing — proper, two-dimensional drawings that run and wriggle and bend all over stages they graciously share with less supple flesh-and-blood co-stars. The artist Jeff Koons’s images of Popeye look sadly earthbound (as well as muscle-bound) compared to these spirited creations…. It’s a pretty funny marriage of venerable stagecraft and latter-day technology’.

The Holland Animation 2008 Film Festival titles, created with Lee Wilson Wolfe, won the 2009 BAA for broadcast design and more recent work includes creating the short 'Oil Story' for babelgum, the 'Ocean Wonderland' shorts for Greenpeace and directing the online docu series on cyclists, ‘Freewheelers’.

After years of denial, Pete now admits to making the video for 'Star trekking across the universe '.
