Independent Films this week announces the signing of director Peter Lydon. A master of comedy, celeb tamer, and dab hand at cartooning, Independent have been a fan of his work for years. 

He’s moved seamlessly between commercials and high profile TV, directing shows like Shameless, Teachers, Mistresses, Secret Diary of a Call Girl and Poirot. His BBC period drama Garrow’s Law, won a prestigious Royal Television society award. 

Peter has written and directed several acclaimed short films including Dating Eliza, which won Best Short and Best Writer at Kinsale as well as three top awards at the LA Comedy Festival.

He cut his directing teeth as a documentary-maker with The South Bank Show and BBC Arena, where his three-part biography of Peter Sellers was BAFTA nominated and picked up several major awards in the US. 

In the commercials world he has shot work for Carlsberg, Ikea, Sky, VW and Mercedes. His ‘Hodor’ commercial for Samsung, featuring Game of Thrones star Kristian Nairn, garnered three Cannes Lions. He’s directed celebrity talent including Al Pacino, Benedict Cumberbatch, Joanna Lumley, Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson. Most recently he directed Mads Mikkelsen for Carlsberg.

Peter is also a prolific cartoonist. Check out his work and follow him on Instagram @pglydon
