Peter Fudakowski

Peter Fudakowski studied Economics at Cambridge University where he was President of the Union Society. He gained his MBA at INSEAD, Fontainebleau, and started his working life as a banker. But his passion has always been for feature films, so his career in banking was mercifully short.

Secret Sharer was Peter Fudakowski's first feature film as director. He was also the screenwriter. Peter started writing screenplays in 1994 and, together with his script editor and wife Henrietta, has developed and produced numerous feature films, including Tsotsi (2005) which won the Oscar® for Best Feature Film in a Foreign Language.

As an Executive or Associate Producer, Peter was involved with The Last September (1999) starring Maggie Smith, Fiona Shaw, and Michael Gambon; Bugs 3D in IMAX (2003) narrated by Judi Dench; In My Country (2004) starring Juliette Binoche and Samuel L. Jackson; Keeping Mum (2005) starring Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Scott Thomas and Maggie Smith; Piccadilly Jim (2005) starring Brenda Blethyn, Tom Wilkinson and Sam Rockwell; Hysteria (2011) starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jonathan Pryce and Rupert Everett.

In 1985, Peter and Henrietta set up their own production company, Premiere Productions which is still in the business of feature film production and finance. Peter is also CEO of the UK Film & TV Production Company PLC which produced Secret Sharer.
