Biography

Peter seeks to investigate the nature of cinema by breaking down the craft into standalone components: photography, motion pictures, painting, music, and the written word — to unlock ecstatic cinema, a viewing experience that challenges, delights, and sweeps up the audience in equal measures. Much of his work explores the realm of the fantastic; heavily influenced by the science-fiction, horror, and occult fantasy genres.

After seventeen years of mostly working in Reality-TV, Peter returned to the world of documentary and fiction story production at the transmedia entertainment company Future Proof 404; developing several seasons of behind-the-scenes content as well as several fictional films with co-producer Jamie Ogihara. His relationship with immersive theater continued with his work for The Twenty-Sided Tavern, the official Hasbro Dungeons & Dragons interactive off-Broadway show.

In late 2023 Peter described himself as “tickled, beguiled, and downright delighted” by the fact his essay “Who You Gonna Call?” was published on the Spectral Voyager Podcast. The article discussed his personal paranormal experiences whilst working on a popular ghost-hunting show.

Throughout the Mid-2010's, in addition to his work in TV, Peter covered the creative technology beat for RedShark News, analyzing the latest trends and future of digital production. During this time, he developed a relationship with Digital Bolex, closely following the development the company's flag-ship raw cinema camera the D16. Subsequently, Peter and his production partner Keif Roberts became the first filmmakers to utilize the D16 for verité documentary production. Their award-winning film Peter Pan Bakery was accepted into several festivals and profiled in the American Cinematographer trade magazine. They would go on to make several independent documentaries including South Bronx United, the award winning short Under The Bus, Working Horses, and The Breach.

The duo had originally met at a now-defunct Food-Network competitor DevourTV for which Peter produced and edited many shows. Devour was often praised for its offbeat approach to high-end food subjects, and early adoption of YouTube streaming.

First moving to New York in the mid 2000's, Peter began his career as an assistant editor for documentary features for renowned filmmakers such as Nancy Kennedy, Mark Becker, David Van Tayler, Steve Rivo, and Ric Burns. During this time Haas’ work primarily focused on animation, digital effects, and digital-asset library management.

While studying Film Production at Keene State College, Peter directed and co-produced PatriotNET, the institution’s first senior thesis project to integrate analog film with extensive digital visual effects.

When not at work or in the studio, Peter enjoys life gardening, whittling away at an end-less stack of books, and teaching historical fencing.
