about the director . . .

Trained at Yale and the American Film Institute Conservatory,

filmmaker Peter Esmonde 

spent far too long in NYC and LA 

working at various tasks in the film industry: 

associate producer, writer, researcher, story analyst, 

assistant editor, sound editor, etc. etc.

After toiling during the 1990s as a producer at 

Discovery Channel, 

Esmonde found himself targeted by executive headhunters, 

and spent some years foraging in the corporate jungles 

of North America.  He finally emerged in 2005 

as a producer and director of documentary films.

Although Peter Esmonde has worked on many films, 

and taught film, media, and/or information design 

at various universities, 

TRIMPIN: THE SOUND OF INVENTION

is his first feature.
