Peter Franklyn Banks

Francis Ford Coppola, Guillermo del Toro, The Incredible Hulk. Many iconic filmmakers in Hollywood have three names and maybe that’s the secret to Peter Franklyn Banks’ expansive body of work.

He got his start in London as a photographer and documentary filmmaker, with a sensibility that makes you feel something every time you watch one of his films. His rich understanding of the human experience and knack for cheekiness has pushed his work into humorous collaborations with the likes of Brian Cox, Gordon Ramsey, Dr. Dre and Zlatan Ibrahimović.

Zlatan says looking at Peter is like looking in a mirror. Not once did Brian Cox tell Peter to “F*ck Off.” Gordon Ramsey tried to hire Peter as a line cook. And Lionel Messi once gave him a head nod of approval—Messi is a man of few words.

Peter has worked with Asics, Budweiser, Meta, Fox Sports, Chelsea FC and more. So whether his work makes you laugh, cry or get goosebumps, just remember it’s directed by THE man with three names.
