About the Filmmakers

Dan Peterson

Writer Director Producer

An Air Force veteran, Peterson utilized the G.I. bill to attend

Columbia College film school.

Peterson's independent film, "Backroad Motel",

an anthology featuring fictional characters

inhabiting a dingy motel room somewhere along Route 66,

caught the attention of Jonathan Taplin, producer of,

among other films, Martin Scorsese's "Mean Streets".

So impressed by Peterson's film, Taplin transformed "Backroad Motel"

into one of the first internet series or "webisodes"

In between writing and filmmaking gigs,

He spent random periods of time as a writer for various TV shows,

a part time script typist for Quentin Tarantino,

as well as driver/bodyguard for "Private Dancers".

It was his experience as a driver that inspired him to write, produce and direct,

"Have Love, Will Travel"

a starkly honest and unflinching journey into

a dark underground world of the Los Angeles mobile sex trade.

Subsequently "Have Love, Will Travel" grabbed the attention of

Sundance Film Festival Programmers, Trevor Groth & Mike Plant

who invited him to world premiere at their own CineVegas Film Festival.

Peterson's current Film Projects include:

the currently in post production subversive love story:

and the teenage drama to be shot this summer,
