Peter Schnall
Executive Producer, Producer, Director, Cinematographer
Peter Schnall is a seven-time EMMY Award and recent Peabody Award winner who has been making distinctive films and documentaries for more than twenty years.
After nearly ten years as an independent, Peter began a remarkable 6-year stint as Producer/Cinematographer and Senior Producer of the long-running National Geographic Television weekly series Explorer.
When the White House was looking for a filmmaker they could trust to tell the story of Air Force One, they turned to Peter, giving him unprecedented access not just to the plane and its crew, but to three presidents as well; when Oprah Winfrey wanted a trusted filmmaker to document her humanitarian sojourn to Southern Africa to draw attention to the plight of children with
AIDS, she turned to Peter; and when the U.S. Secret Service wanted its story told to the American public, they, too, turned to Peter Schnall and PARTISAN PICTURES.
Peter’s one-hour specials for National Geographic – ON BOARD AIR FORCE ONE, ON BOARD MARINE ONE & GEORGE W. BUSH: THE 9/11 INTERVIEW – became 3 of the highest-rated specials for the Channel.
Peter’s feature length documentaries for PBS and DISCOVERY were both nominated for a National EMMY as well as a News & Documentary EMMY.
In 2022 PARTISAN PICTURES celebrated its 25th year.
