Peter Rowe, writer and filmmaker, has been involved with music throughout his life. In 1966 he made what was once called “the world’s first rock video.” He filmed the Isle of Wight Rock Festival, John and Yoko’s Bed-in for Peace, and performers such as Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, the Jefferson Airplane, Leonard Cohen, Miles Davis and Joni Mitchell.

He has made over 180 films including the acclaimed 49 part television series Angry Planet and feature films like Treasure Island, starring Jack Palance, and The Best Bad Thing, starring George Takei.

The harrowing and outrageous stories of Peter Rowe’s films are described in his first book Adventures in Filmmaking. As Publishers Weekly described him in the review of this 2013 book, “He has traveled the world and filmed in the most extreme conditions.”
