PETER SHOCKEY BIO

  • Producer, Director, Editor & Writer of dozens of TV Shows & Books for Gaia TV, Hallmark TV, Discovery’s TLC, Doubleday and many other International Media companies. Peter Shockey's classic Docs, LIFE AFTER LIFE, ANGEL STORIES & STORIES OF MIRACLES can be seen these days on Gaia TV. 

 

  • Extensive experience in adapting bestselling books into film. Two of his own Doubleday books were adapted into highly rated TLC documentary specials.

  • His videos have been distributed & cross-promoted by print publishers Reader’s Digest, Publisher’s Clearinghouse, Guideposts Books and others.
  • His films & books have been highlighted on Oprah, Hallmark, CBN, Shockey has appeared on many TV & Radio talk shows, a wide variety of keynote presentations, panel discussions & webinars, and is an experienced narrator & spokesperson.
  • Shockey’s broad experience in writing & narration sharpened his skills toward directing & coaching on-camera talent; plus working with other editors, writers, narrators, & videographers toward their own productions. As a director, he brings out the best production strategies for new talent, (both on-camera and tech-production) helping quickly outline their shooting of b-roll, on-camera presentations, run’n’gun cinematography techniques, & docs-style narrative storytelling. 

“I’m in my zone when writing, editing, producing & directing positive international television programs—either short-form or docs—TV series or specials; and also in the writing and producing of books and other media. I love to share stories about individual experiences, particularly in subjects that expand the audience’s awareness of the world and of life." 

In business I’ve successfully developed many Win-Win relationships with co-producers, production facilities, talent and various media distributors, in the U.S. and abroad.  My greatest excitement is to create new media opportunities within the shifting paradigms of converging technologies. I continually find new opportunities in this “New Land” of digital media… producing & designing Web properties by combining motion picture with the written word, music and Internet.  For example, the Filmhouse Mini-Movies I do for Lux Real Estate were a direct result of selling my own unique Nashville Farmhouse to a California buyer by creating a film to show the living personality of the home online. 

 So, I see myself as a visionary who enjoys co-creating innovative Win-Win deals that work for everyone—nearly as much as I love working with fresh-thinking talent to create inspiring content.
