Kevin Peer’s documentary filmmaking career over the past 46 years has included the creation of three major visitor center films for the National Park Service and 11 internationally-broadcast films for National Geographic Television. The subjects explored in these films have ranged from the U.S. nuclear testing program in the Bikini Atoll to the meditative practice of Zen Archery; from the Navajo spiritual healing ceremony of sandpainting to the wildlife and pristine sanctuary of Denali National Park, Alaska; and from the joyous dance celebrations of the Wodaabe tribe of Niger, West Africa to the diverse life and endangered beauty of the Florida Everglades. His work has been seen by hundreds of millions of people around the world and has garnered over 40 national and international film festival awards, including 2 Emmy nominations by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He has also taught extensively at the workshop and university level on filmmaking as a path of service, exploration and personal awakening.
Kevin’s path as a filmmaker has been fueled by a deep sense of calling: to make and share films that promote wonder, understanding, and an engaged love for all beings, both human and non-human. The abiding passion throughout his journey has been to portray topics dealing with spirituality and the sacred in a manner that is engaging, coherent, and inspirational to a broad public audience.

Ed taught high school and middle school videography for 20 years and developed one of the first public school filmmaking curricula in the United States. His students won numerous awards for short films in national and international competitions. From the beginning of the film project in 2022 until illness prevented his continued direct involvement in 2025, Ed assisted our filmmaker, Kevin, with many aspects of production. His invaluable contributions included equipment procurement, technical support, lighting and sound recording on the U.S. tour, and managing film storage to ensure the film team had proper access for editing and distribution. His kind presence and strong devotion to the project is dearly missed.
