Philosophy
Creatives don't need to make more content — they need to make fewer, better things.
Peter John — Founder, Director
The backstory

Twenty-five years on the road with some of the world's best artists, bands, and surfers. One observation never changed: Trends may get views, division will cause attention but Authentic Story lasts forever.

Cine Artistlabs is what happens when you spend a quarter-century watching the thing on the other side of the lens: people making the work they'll be remembered for and work for those watching who are transformed by it. The world is telling us to make more noise, make more things, get more attention. But that never works, never satisfies and never ends.

We need more creatives making fewer better things.

Story builds legacy. Everything else is just noise.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

Filmmakers
who've trained with us.

I came from a DSLR thinking I was killing it. Pete put a RED in my hands, walked me through all of it — then taught me the real lesson: it's not what or how, it's the why.
Mitch Loveday Mitch Loveday Makker Studios Sunshine Coast, Australia
I quit film school after two weeks. On location with Pete — a RED in my hands, real shows, real access — I learned more than I ever would have in years of classes.
Sam Harvey Sam Harvey Harvey Creative New South Wales, Australia
I came in as a musician — media was just a side hobby. I walked out with skills that crossfade straight into my music, and connections you can't get anywhere else.
Isaac Ayres Isaac Ayres DJ Ocean Grove, Australia
Before the workshop our church media was fumbling for direction. Pete answered the questions that were holding us back — and pitched it so the whole team could move forward together.
Laurent Laurent Casey City Church Melbourne, Australia
I quit my job as a primary teacher to pursue filming and needed guidance. Pete's consulting at Cine Artistlabs was exactly what I needed. He stripped away the noise and helped me finally own my worth, packaging my unique style into something the world actually wants to buy. 10/10 would take the leap again.
