Peter

If you really must know, all I'll give you is a bio of me by Julie:On April fool’s day, 1970, fate played one of its more curious tricks on mankind. Enter Peter Burstin, stage center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.Peter started life quietly enough in the jungles of suburbia until the age of twelve, when one of those random, oddly enthusiastic salutations from a complete dope of a stranger sent him into a bit of a panic. Whether it was the strange vibe of the unnecessarily goofy hello or the promise of a life spent imprisoned behind a white picket fence, the author felt this greeting was a sign that it was time to grow elsewhere. And so, at the age of a dozen, he did.First to London by way of New York City, young Burstin ventured out to see what was what. While studying in the U.K., he traveled to China and was selected by an ancient master to study an another way.Upon returning stateside, Burstin delved deeply into the world of theatre. Success as an actor followed, teaching him one of life’s greatest lessons: empathy. Peter took readily to script- and screenwriting. Back to NY after a few unfortunate weeks in LA, Burstin chose to trade the parting of velvet ropes for a quality cappuccino maker and sat down to write. Five years later, he got up.While studying guides to hermitage, Peter stumbled back into photography. Though he originally picked it up to keep and train his director’s eye, his Leica has become something of a permanent attachment to his person.In addition to photography, acting, writing, and directing, Peter is an accomplished French chef, with comparisons of his fare having been made to that of the renowned Alain Ducasse.Wherever Peter Burstin has turned his head, he has made it his life’s work to show mankind how to experience things without fear of the unknown, fear of the alternative, or fear of the truth. It is his belief that only the acceptance of this will allow a person to change, grow, and ultimately, to live.
