About

Hi, I’m Peter Makk, a passionate Film Director and Podcast Producer currently based in Los Angeles. As a student-athlete at the University of Southern California, I balance a rigorous academic schedule with a dedicated athletic career in Division 1 tennis, where I also serve as team captain. I specialize in storytelling through multimedia projects, such as directing a documentary on the iconic USC vs. UCLA tennis rivalry and producing engaging college sports podcasts.

I enjoy leading creative projects from concept through completion, using skills in video editing and podcast production to craft compelling content. My work ethic, leadership experiences, and proficiency in communication empower me to connect with diverse audiences and teams. Outside of media and sports, I have a keen interest in technology, artificial intelligence, and meeting new people, which continually inspire my creative endeavors.
