THE TAROT - Copyright Roninfilm
Peter Hyoguchi has just completed his fourth feature film, "The Tarot", an occult thriller which was shot using a mixture of traditional and virtual production techniques. Raised in Los Angeles by his mother, an animator at Hanna-Barbera Studios ("Scooby Doo" and "The Flintstones"), Hyoguchi had the blessing of learning the craft of visual story-telling in the home and was creating his own cartoons by the time he was ten years-old. Peter then began his film career with a sci-fi short called “The Future’s Future” which won George Lucas’ Project 6 youth film festival in 1988. The film was included in a special that aired on PBS. Two years later, he dropped out of high school after being awarded an art grant to direct his first feature film, an adaptation of “No Exit” by Jean-Paul Sartre at age seventeen.
In his early twenties, Peter signed with an agent and started taking on writing assignments, including adapting a New York Times best-selling novel called "Shooting Elvis" and co-writing "The Waking" with sci-fi legend Ray Bradbury for director John Carpenter. In 2001, he 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 has aired on IFC and Netflix.
In 2012, Hyoguchi founded the VFX company Roninfilm which created CGI effects for the SyFy channel, including "Lavalantula", "Spiders 3D" and the sci-fi pilot "The New Kind". |
