Professional Experience:
Peter Kuehn graduated from the Columbia School of Broadcasting in 1970. His love for the ocean drove him to experiment with underwater cinematography in the late '70s. Now he is a PADI certified Master Scuba Instructor having accumulated over 4,000 dives world wide, he has hundreds of hours of underwater footage. Peter has been working in Television Production since 1988. As a freelance cinematographer, he has produced hundreds of shows for the City of Ventura, documentaries for Historical Societies, talk shows, educational programs for broadcast on Cable TV, and a number of award winning underwater documentaries.He is credited for a score of long running TV series such as: "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" (50 plus episodes), "The Ray Russum show" (250 episodes), "TV Ministries" (150 episodes), "Council Update" (429 episodes), "How it Works" (29 episodes), "Deborah's Garden" (60 episodes), "Ventura's Environment" (over 7 years of shows), "Citizens Alert" (60 episodes), and "The Dr. Lee Show" (33 episodes).
"Citizens Alert" was Ventura's first interactive crime show combining Neighborhood Watch, Wanted Lists, Scams and other law enforcement programs under one show on television, where people could inform themselves of current crimes and call in live to communicate their observations with police officers.
In his spare time Peter Kuehn would produce numerous commercials, infomercials, promos and ads for a variety of clients. Also he would produce, direct and edit special interest videos, one of which, "The Magical Movie Machines" traced the history from the first "moving" pictures to cameras of the 1930's. This production caught Mr. Ernest Brooks II, Brooks Institute attention and he wrote "…. This video tape would be an excellent resource tool for school libraries and for institutions…..a valuable instrument in understanding our early beginnings within the film industry….Brooks Institute will utilize this production with all beginning film students and I certainly would highly recommend it to others…." Ernest Brooks II, Brooks Institute (1996).
Working as an independent cinematographer has allowed Peter the freedom to work on a variety of diverse projects. The direct result - he brings a wealth of experience to any production.
