Peter Phan - A successful businessman turned artist. Growing up as a dutiful Asian child, I didn’t dare to dream beyond the expectations placed on me. I was taught to study hard, attend university, and become a successful businessman. However, I always had a deep passion for the arts. It wasn’t until the COVID pandemic that I realized I wanted to live an authentic life aligned with my true calling. That’s when I decided to pursue a career in acting.
Four years later, after landing a few roles, I had the opportunity to create my own films. Bullet Storm is my debut film, which I co-directed, produced, and starred in as a leading actor. Through this platform, I’ve been able to explore and engage with my culture, history, and love for storytelling. I’m not afraid to make mistakes because that’s how we learn, and I strive to embed those lessons into the films I create.
As the son of a refugee, I proudly call Australia home. Today, I find immense joy in acting, filmmaking, and advocating for more people like me to embrace a life in the arts. Connecting with like-minded individuals and amplifying the voices of those with shared experiences is what drives me.
While diversity and inclusion are vital, they must be woven into stories thoughtfully and at the right moments to create genuine meaning.
