Director Biography - Peter Vazquez

My name is Peter Vazquez, and I am an independent filmmaker with an ambition to become a writer/director of feature-length films seen in theaters. Since I moved to NYC, I have been writing screenplays and directing short films. Cinema is my passion, but I am a storyteller at heart. Through my work, I often explore themes of addiction, sexuality, and mental illness. If my work were to help at least one person feel less alone, then I will feel successful.

Director Statement

My goal with Red Star is to confront bipolar disorder with a cinematic lens in order to inspire understanding and empathy for those who suffer from bipolar or any mental illness which can take shape in a manic episode.
