Blake Peterson was born in Portland, Oregon at the end of the Seventies and is generally considered to be an odd, but harmless fellow.

After graduating from Tualatin High School (in the small Portland suburb of, ahem, Tualatin) Blake spent two years attending Clackamas Community College where he had hoped to achieve enough success in the track event of the Pole Vault to eventually get a scholarship to another school. However due to a shoulder injury he was forced to give up the sport. While recovering, he took play and screenwriting classes from Portland based playwrite Sue Mach, and won the Clackamas Writers Club 1st Prize in the playwriting division for his one act play, Marx Wars. He also studied oil painting and fostered his love of mythology and the study of dreams.

After this he transferred to the University of Oregon. Following brief stints studying theatre, painting and creative writing, he entered the Multimedia Design Program, taking experimental courses in gaming and game design, motion graphics and animation. He graduated in Spring 2005 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Multimedia Design.

While at the University of Oregon, he used the resources of the Multimedia Design Department to further his education in digital and tradition illustration, and digital film production (with a focus on editing, color correction, effects creation and compositing). He has produced, been featured, or been involved in some aspect of production on over a dozen short films and videos, and an unfinished feature length documentary about the 10th aniversary H.O.P.E.S. (Holistic Options for Planet Earth Sustainability) conference.

While there, he developed the concept for his short documentary series, Real Life Adventures, for which he plans to make 40 short films, shot out of numerical order.

Blake is currently working on a low budget feature length film entitled "The Knight."
