Tyler C. Peterson

Tyler C. Peterson (he/him) is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker and the founder of Capital Emmy-winning production company Lux Daze Media. He is best known as the Writer/Director for short films STAN BEHAVIOR, COPPER & WOOL and SUMMER HILL.

Raised in rural Maryland, Tyler graduated from Towson University with a Bachelor’s Degree in film and a thirst for challenging industry ideologies. Living in Baltimore, he began exploring both his voice as a Writer / Director and his own queer identity. His work focuses on character-driven stories following outsiders of niche communities, and is visualized with a richly textured, dream- like aesthetic.

Now based in Los Angeles, Tyler is developing features and promoting his fifth short film, STAN BEHAVIOR, on the festival circuit, with prestigious selections such as MIAMI, FRAMELINE, PROVINCETOWN INTERNATIONAL and BOSTON UNDERGROUND. The film stars Ginger Minj (RuPaul’s Drag Race, Dumplin’, Hocus Pocus 2) and Yvonne Zima (The Long Kiss Goodnight, Heat, ER, The Young and the Restless).
