About

I’m Peter Kimball, a writer-director and educator based in Washington, DC. I am an experienced professional screenwriter and screenwriting professor. One of my great skills is working with directors, producers, and other creatives to help them realize their ideas in screenplay form. My work spans fiction, documentary, and short-form drama, with a focus on disability representation and Deaf culture. Films like Millstone and My Brother is Deaf have earned honors from major film festivals and qualified for Academy Award consideration.
