Peter Hewitt

Master of whimsical family entertainment, Peter Hewitt was born in Brighton, England in 1962 and began his active directorial career in the late 1980s. Hewitt is most renowned for his work in the family and comedy genres, with his most notable projects including "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" and "The Borrowers," the latter of which earned him a BAFTA Children's Award for Best Feature Film. Though his work is generally characterized by its playful humor and imaginative storylines, there's a profound sense of heart and sincerity that pervades even his most fantastical narratives. Off the camera, Peter Hewitt is as genuine as his films, a director who infuses every project with a sense of joy and childlike wonder that is truly infectious.
