Peter Meech is multi-award winning screenwriter, director and producer. He's also an author and playwright. On occasion he even mugs for the camera.
Peter launched his debut novel Billy (the Kid) at the iconic Jaipur Literature Festival. His neo-Western novel, set during Depression-era Colorado, garnered high praise from Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove; Brokeback Mountain) and Craig Johnson (Longmire Novels), among others.
According to The New York Journal of Books, “Meech’s story may be a fiction, but it’s told with charm, wit, a smattering of bloody realism, some of the longest sentences this side of Robinson Crusoe, and a complete lack of quotation marks. It’s also thoroughly enjoyable.”
Peter's memoir, Mysteries of the Life Force: My Apprenticeship with a Chi Kung Master, chronicles the first seven years of Peter's apprenticeship with a chi kung master and has been translated into several languages.
Recently Peter wrote, directed and produced Around Robin, a mystery thriller. The movie stars Clementine Nicholson, Torrance Coombs, Ann Pirvu and Peter Meech. The film is currently available for viewing on Amazon Prime, Tubi, and the Roku Channel.
