Peter Hyoguchi began his film career with his sci-fi short “The Future’s Future” which won George Lucas’ youth film festival in 1987. Two years later, Hyoguchi received a grant and directed his first feature film, an adaptation of “No Exit” by Jean Paul Sartre at the age of seventeen.
After writing and directing three more feature films that failed financially and critically, Hyoguchi began work as a screenwriter, taking on several writing assignments, including adapting a New York Times best-selling novel and co-writing a screenplay called "The Waking" with sci-fi legend Ray Bradbury for director John Carpenter.
In 2001, Peter won Best Feature Film at both New York and San Francisco Independent Film Festivals for "First, Last and Deposit" which he wrote, shot and directed. The film went on to air on IFC and Netflix.
In 2012, Hyoguchi founded his VFX company Roninfilm which provided effects for the SyFy channel, including giant flaming spiders in "Lavalantula", the sci-fi series "The New Kind" and many commercials.
Recently, Hyoguchi directed the first Super Bowl spot to utilize Virtual Production. He is a two-time recipient of the Epic MegaGrant for “Gods of Mars” which created a new kind of virtual production pipeline with a team of Oscar and Emmy-winning virtual effects artists whose credits include “Star Wars”, “X-Men”, “How to Train Your Dragon”, “Batman”, Quantum of Solace”, “The Dark Crystal” and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”.
Hyoguchi has taught filmmaking at UCLA Film and TV, New York Film Academy, The Academy of Art University and FIDM.
Peter lives in San Marcos, Texas.
