About Peet

Peter Gelderblom directs, edits and develops commercials, TV programs and broadcast design at an Amsterdam-based production company. He studied Graphic Arts in Rotterdam and briefly worked as a copywriter and desktop publisher, before making the audiovisual switch via motion graphics and digital editing. He created station identities, leader packages, promos and title designs for a range of TV channels.

His weekly webcomic Directorama, chronicling the afterlife of a pantheon of legendary directors, is published every Monday at The House Next Door and every Tuesday at Cinema em Cena (in Portuguese). It’s also serialized in Smallformat magazine.

Peet is also the founding editor of 24LiesASecond.com, a website featuring provocative film criticism with an underdog bite. His friend Jim Moran is the site’s editor-in-chief. Apart from a slowly but surely growing selection of essays and appreciations, 24LiesASecond houses a public forum dedicated to the discussion of film in general and the cinema of Brian De Palma in particular.

Peet has been obsessively creative since a teenager; always drawing, writing, performing, shooting Super-8 shorts or composing songs. In his twenties he was the singer in a funk band called Dirty Laundry. Depending on which side of Peet you’re most familiar with, you either think he’s simply following his muse or wasting his talent.

He lives right in the heart of Holland with his Danish wife Tina and two wonderful sons, Rasmus and Luka.
