Peter Thornhill Films

‘Pete's greatest asset is that he brings a sense of fun to everything he does. He has boundless energy and a desire to seek enjoyment in every aspect of his work. But this persona doesn't hide the fact that he also possesses an excellent eye - for crafting a shot, or picking up those little details - and great story-telling ability that help his work stand up. I had the pleasure to work with Pete on many projects while we were together at Twofour, and they generated some vivid memories. From creating a riveting car crash drama that was conceived, shot, edited and delivered in just 6 days, to managing a bunch of screaming, abusive prisoners on the top of a roof for a series of training films, working with Pete is never dull, and I would heartily recommend him for any creative project you are considering.’

‘I’ve worked with Peter in a number of capacities over the years and never regretted it for a moment. At all levels of film making he both excels and surprises. His ability to think creatively ‘out side the box’ is second to none and I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a director producer or writer regardless of the project type.’
ED BOOTH, Producer BBC Television More...

‘Pete is an excellent writer/director who always produces innovative results. He is fun to work with and has a great way with people, and always "goes the extra mile". I have no hesitation in recommending him.’
JOHN SPENCE-ARNOLD Video Producer More...

‘Pete was simply awesome. With quite a wide brief, to produce 15 conference VT's for playout, with almost zero existing content, he managed to create great treatments, help source the right content and then directed all the edits. The end products looked brilliant. This, however, was not the most important part of Pete's input... Undertaking relentless hours in darkened rooms with editors can easily dampen creativity and enthusiasm, however Pete's brilliant attitude, his great humour meant those around him felt consistently enthused. A top chap, with a great attitude! Cheers Pete.

DANIEL KENNEY Producer, DJK Productions More...

Just a brief message to say thank you for your fantastic enthusiasm, team work and professionalism over the last few days. We got some great results and any solutions to any issues were resolved quickly and effectively - especially whenever the Creative Chair was sat on!’

‘I have worked with Peter Thornhill as a director writer on a number of projects from corporates to commercials and virals for (amongst others) Triton Showers, Gala Casinos, Dead Sea Magic, Peugeot, Boots etc. and have always found him proficient, professional, creative and pleasant to work with. I recommend him to you.’

‘We ran off the final versions (the Sky Autoglass bumpers) this morning. They look and sound brilliant – still funny as well. Well done.’
BEN FAIRMAN, Senior Creative, Radioville Agency More...

'The client was extremely pleased. You kept the energies of the editors going all the time in what sometimes were quite difficult circumstances. The end result was excellent.'
NICK TERRY, Managing Directo,r Top Banana, Stourbridge More...

‘Client very happy with the film.’

‘REALLY, REALLY GOOD - Just what I wanted. Thank you.’
CLIFF FOX, Managing Director,SICL, Leeds

‘Peter did a fantastic job a taking a difficult ‘dry’ subject and finding a way to pitch it with humour and intelligence. The result was that an intrinsically procedural semi-instructional piece with ‘yawn’ potential became a much talked about star turn . Most importantly the film was clear and understood by all. Initial findings from a business as usual perspective would indicate Peter’s film has successfully conveyed the messages we required. And - he’s an absolute joy to work with.’
SANDRA DODSON, Deputy Chief Driving Examiner, DSA, Nottingham. More...

‘Cheers Peter... reckon we're cooking on gas! Look forward to working with you again.’

'I’ve now had a chance to review the film and it looks great! The footage is well balanced with some great shots of both still and moving product, and the music has lots of energy. Many thanks.'
KAREN BOULTON, Digital Communications Manager, Audi UK. More...

‘Working with Peter has been a real asset to Twofour because as well as being an experienced freelance producer and director who brought a visual flair to even the most mundane of projects, he also helped my role within business development through his ability to develop creative ideas that were equally resonant with both the client and the target audience. This ability helped Twofour secure major contracts and I will continue to use his skills on a freelance basis on major tenders in the future.’
GARETH STOCKDALE, Senior Account Executive, Twofour Productions, More...

'Peter produced several information videos for me, taking over from a very pedestrian outfit, and produced creative, technically good work and in a surprisingly short time. He understood the brief quickly and suggested new approaches that worked really well. Very professional.'
HOWARD FREEMAN Freeman IT More...

‘As part of the marketing strategy for the Academy, Peter worked with me on developing, writing and directing a series of short viral videos using humour and wit. These have proved highly successful and played perfectly to Peter’s skills, not only to his directing talents, but also in terms of the development of content and working with performers. He comes highly recommended.’
CHRISTOPHER SLADE, Head of Twofour Academy, Twofour. More...

‘Peter - Congratulations to you and your team for pulling this together with such short notice (meeting on Monday!!!), surely this is true testimony to your ability and professionalism.’
KEVIN GREEN (MBE) Royal Marines

'I wanted to say a proper thank you for your great work on the Audi exclusive film. I know it was quite different from what Audi normally do, and I was pleased that you so quickly understood my vision for it. '
SIBELLE REINA-ABIODUN, Audi exclusive and Merchandise Manager, Audi UK More...

'I think everything is really great, so not expecting any amendments, but I wanted to say a massive thank you for all your brilliant work! I will definitely recommend you to anyone who needs a filmmaker and really hoping we can work with you again on new projects within the school of CLAS.'
