Pete Guzzo, Filmmaker

I'm Pete Guzzo, a Leader with 23 years of experience driving impactful campaigns across advertising, marketing, broadcast, streaming, and feature films. I've worked as a contractor, full-time team member, remote collaborator, and consultant, partnering with agencies, corporate teams, and internal marketing and advertising departments to align creative execution with strategic business goals.

From spearheading projects for Fortune 500 brands to launching a production company that exceeded $1 million in sales during its third fiscal year, I bring a unique combination of hands-on expertise and strategic business acumen, bolstered by my MBA in Project Management and Marketing.

What sets me apart is my ability to integrate operational efficiency with creative vision. I excel in building scalable workflows, designing innovative production solutions, and fostering collaboration across diverse teams. Whether producing branded content, managing complex advertising campaigns, streamlining internal creative processes, or developing and operating influencer-focused production spaces and studios that maximize ROI, I approach every project with precision, adaptability, and a commitment to measurable results.

As a multi-award-winning director and executive producer with over 300 productions under my belt, my experience spans feature films, television, and high-profile commercial campaigns. I've served as production manager and line producer on feature-length westerns and documentaries, worked as a second unit post-production VFX producer on Hollywood films, and am currently producing and co-writing the series "UnRested" while developing other compelling content including "UnRested: Untold Stories from the Grave."

My commercial work showcases collaborations with elite talent across industries, from directing campaigns with golf legends Ernie Els and Brooks Koepka to producing content with celebrity chefs Robert Irvine, Wolfgang Puck, and Curtis Stone. I've earned recognition for campaigns in retail, medical, hospitality, universities, and tourism sectors, demonstrating versatility in crafting narratives that resonate across diverse audiences.

"Ever managed a campaign that made waves across the digital world while navigating the legal maze behind the scenes? That's my day-to-day." This hands-on approach, combined with my ability to empathize with every role in production—from crew members to marketing directors—ensures seamless collaboration and powerful storytelling that delivers both creative excellence and strategic business results.
