Peter Ahern
Peter Ahern grew up in a sleepy suburb of Massachusetts, where he spent most of his childhood raking leaves and wishing he had cable television. While attending Pratt Institute he began to incorporate his warped, nostalgic aesthetic into hand-drawn animations. Several of his films have gone on to become internationally recognized through dozens of screenings including SXSW, London Animation and Ottawa International film festivals. Most notably his degree film "Down to the Bone" resulted in a Student Academy Award nomination, amongst other distinguished honors.
Peter currently freelances in NYC, working as an animator, concept designer and art director for studios such as Curious Pictures, Titmouse and London Squared Productions. He has been involved with Michel Gondry, contributed to shows for MTV, Fox and Syfy networks and animated on numerous commercials for clients such as Nokia, Best Western and ESPN. Peter has also co-taught animation workshops for kids through the NY International Children’s Film Festival.
He still hopes to one day have cable television.
