Peter Spencer
Film Writer and Director — Spencer Productions
After spending several years in the advertising industry, Peter Spencer founded Halo TV and Film. Peter has won numerous national awards for writing, producing and directing - including his TV series Heroes of the Faith shown on over 2,000 stations worldwide. He is an accomplished researcher of historic events, including forty-six television specials. He received his Master of Divinity Degree in 2005 and his Doctorate in Biblical Studies in 2007. His doctoral dissertation, based on archeological research and discovery, was recently published in the book The DaVinci Cult. His interviews with his mentor Hans Poley led him to research the Dutch Archives, life histories, and survivors of the Hiding Place and their friends. This inspiration created a world immersed in the realities of Holland in the 40's, inspiring a meticulous, realistic script for Return to the Hiding Place. Now a fully-realized feature film, Return to the Hiding Place has won an astounding 19+ film honors and festival wins combined and more than doubled the projected independent box office numbers, ranking it fifth in the nation for per-screen average during its test run in May 2014.
Peter's work has garnered praise from the New York Times, Washington Post, and L.A. Times for his communication style. Peter is an accomplished author, professional actor, musician and public speaker. Peter spent many years as the official chaplain to the multi-national champions the San Antonio Spurs and worked closely with David Robinson in ministry. He produced his apologetic series Defending the Faith for CNL Television in the Russian-speaking world. Peter also teaches crowds of up to 40,000 in India and is heard on several radio stations in North America.
