My wife : Patricia Peschken (26. January 2006 - present)

I was born June 9, 1955 in Nuembrecht, North Rhine- Westphalia Germany, grew up in Moers, Rhein. 

My parents are Cornelius-Johannes Peschken (passed away 1997)  and Renate-Maria Peschken.

I am a professional film cameraman (16mm and 35mm, Arriflex, Panavision Panaflex) TV producer, director and wrote 2 screenplays. 

I have been in Film / Radio & TV since 1974.  From 1994 until early 2009 I lived in Los Angeles. 

Since early 2009 my wife and I live in Grafton, Wisconsin, near Lake Michigan.

I am a professionally trained Film-Camera Assistant (1974-76 at Germany based Newsreel / Filmwochenschau 'Blick in die Welt"

“View into the world’, and later became a Film Cameraman, and a certified Radio Broadcast Audio Engineer

(earned during my service at the 'Bundeswehr' (German Federal Defense Force) at their own Radio Station "Radio  Andernach",

Early career (1974-1988):

I was involved in the German Radio & TV industry from 1974 until 1988.  I hosted numerous LIVE Radio Broadcasts for Hessischer Rundfunk

and SWF 3 (one of Germany's leading , state operated Radio Networks at that time).

In 1984, when the media laws in Germany changed, I was among the first Television producers that were granted a private broadcast

license by the AKK (Anstalt fuer Kabelkommunikation, Ludwigshafen) from the government of Rhineland-Palatinate, to broadcast private,

commercial television and radio programs. I then produced and hosted more than 100 episodes of my own weekly TV show

" Tonight Special Talkshow" and a daily Radio program.  Later I was employed by 'Radio 4 Rosa Welle (a private Radio Network owned by

'Blitz Tip Verlag' Frankfurt)' as LIVE host, narrator and radio commercial author & producer.

Between 1986 and 1988 I was General Manager of a 35 mm film production company.  I photographed, directed, produced, edited

Hollywood (1989-2009):

In 1989 I left Germany and moved to Hollywood, California to develop a US/German co-funding / co-production structure

 for low budget feature films.

In 1994 I formed a Music Company (to administer the rights of film scores of the films we produced) and a

Filmproduction company in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The Music company was financed and controlled

by the successful German music producer and singer MICHAEL HOLM. My partner in the Filmproduction company

was Dr. Chris Naumann, a German Media Producer. I arranged a co-production / co-financing structure with legendary

Hollywood Producer Roger Corman.

Along with Roger, and Dr. Naumann,  I am the executive producer of:

THE SPY WITHIN -aka FLIGHT OF THE DOVE starring Scott Glenn, Theresa Russell,

DILLINGER & CAPONE starring F. Murray Abraham, Martin Sheen,

CAPTAIN NUKE & THE BOMBER BOYS (in Germany: BOMBER BOYS) starring Rod Steiger, Martin Sheen,

Joanna Pacula, Joe Piscopo,

SUSPECT DEVICE starring C. Thomas Howell.

In 1997  I produced HERZFLIMMERN (English title: "Vital Signs" ) based on the book by Barbara Wood,

a US- German Co production, 2x 90 min series for German TV ZDF with Maria Furtwängler, Ursula Buschhorn

and Carol Campbell. Director: Dieter Kehler.

Also I produced ASSIGNMENT BERLIN (in Germany "Baby Handel Berlin")', starring Paul Winfield, Cliff Robertson,

a co-production with Hallmark Television and Pro 7,Munich, Germany. Directed by Tony Randel.

In 1998 (probably during or after a mental blackout) I wrote the film story HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT

(aka WATERSHIP WARRIOR) that became a US/ Canadian TV Film starring Brigitte Nielsen and Matthias Hues.

Director: David A. Prior

( see my credits on IMDB Internet Movie Data Base. www.imdb.com )

From early 1998-1999  I worked as independent consultant, executive producer and risk assessor, and was involved in

structuring several transaction-proposals under so called "insurance backed loan' structures, involving Paramount Pictures,

Universal Studios, Chase Securities, Royal-Sun Alliance Insurance, for the co-production,co-financing of slates of major motion

pictures and their P&A costs. I was lead negotiator, counseled by major LA attorney firms.  I negotiated directly on VP Business

& Legal affairs level with studios such as Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios and MGM

(”Great experience to sit face to face on an oakwood conference table with the ‘devil’...LOL)

During 2000 and 2003, I photographed, produced & directed several documentary TV programs for Mercenaries of the Lord Ministry, Inc. Los Angeles , 501 c 3 Non Profit company. 

“MERCENARIES OF THE LORD” (Interviewing Homeless People in Santa Monica), a weekly reality tv style program, aired on ' The Word Network', and later a 2x 30 min.

format “ASSIGNMENT X” (helping homeless people on Skid Row), and “CITY VAN” a weekly 30 min youth program, for JC-tv  (a Trinity Broadcasting Network channel). 

From 2004-05, I was General Manager of Marina MoviePartners Ltd., and CineFilm Media LLC, and was instrumental in completing a Private Placement Offering  in Germany,

for the co-funding of a slate of Television feature films with Rigel Entertainment. However I ceased my involvement in the production of these 6 TV films

of which I am one of the executive producers: PRESUMED DEAD with Sherilyn Fenn,DOUBLE CROSS with Bruce Boxleitner, Barbara Niven, MAX HAVOC: RING OF FIRE

with Mickey Hardt and Rae Dawn Chong, RAZOR with C. Thomas Howell, and HEATSTROKE with Danica McKellar. I must say, that I am not proud of these films.

I terminated my engagement with the production before the films were shot. 

In 2005 I assumed the position of CEO of Trinity TV, Inc. Los Angeles, a Faith and Family value oriented film & TV production entity.

Memberships & Awards:

-From early 1994 until the end of 1999, I  was member of the Producers Guild of America were I served for a very short time 1999 as

 'chairman' of the 'Social Awareness Committee' under president Thom Mount. This job provided lots of insight into the, for the most part,

corrupt and left liberal Hollywood film industry. So, I know what I am talking about.  

For the production of my documentary 'Assignment X', a reality TV style program, about my ministry's efforts to help homeless people

to end their homelessness, I received THE COMMUNICATOR AWARD 2002.

Present: I am focusing on the development & production of humanitarian (and faith based) oriented documentaries and TV commercials, as well as the development and production

of commercials and web docus / series for selected businesses.  Technical quality and content quality of my productions are not a matter of money. 

My objective is always a truthful presentation of products, services and the people behind it.
