Peter Richardson's work as a director and showrunner has gained widespread recognition, with features and series airing on HBO, Netflix, Showtime, National Geographic, OWN, and the Sundance Channel and awards for Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival and an Emmy Nomination for Best Documentary.

His first two feature documentaries premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The latter, "How to Die in Oregon", won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary and aired on HBO. The Chicago Sun-Times said the film, "will likely be viewed as one of the most historically significant documentaries of this decade."

Richardson has worked extensively on premium documentary series, most recently as show runner of "QB1: Beyond the Lights", now in its fourth season on Netflix and Executive Produced by Peter Berg.

Prior to QB1, Richardson directed the documentary segments for season 1 of National Geographic's groundbreaking series "Mars", Executive Produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard.

For Showtime, he was co-Executive Producer on season 2 of "The Circus: The Greatest Political Show on Earth" and was Series Director on season 1 and 2 of "Dark Net."

He started his work on premium documentary as a series director on Oprah Winfrey's "Belief", a landmark 7-part global series narrated and Executive Produced by Ms Winfrey.
