About Peter Andrikidis:
"I love directing with a passion and I thank God that I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to fulfil my dream and make a successful career of it."
Peter Andrikidis graduated from AFTRS (Film Direction) in 1981 as one of the youngest students. He was immediately recruited to Crawford Productions where he went on to direct numerous dramas productions culminating in producing a series of 'Flying Doctors' (RFDS). Peter believes his real 'coming of age' was on the ABC drama 'G.P.' which he also became Producer.
'Wildside', the groundbreaking drama series, is Peter's greatest directing achievement, he thinks. Two episodes, which Peter directed, won a total of eight AFI's including Best Direction.
He then went on to direct the entire ABC series 'Grass Roots' written by Geoffrey Atherden. This series went on to win seven AFI's over two seasons including Best Direction. It also won a New York Festival Award.
In 2016 Peter was set-up director on the new action drama series ‘Hyde and Seek’ for Matchbox and Nine Network. And in 2017 he was the setup director on the next ‘Janet King’ and the new medical drama for ABC ‘Pulse’. He finished the year with a two part mini-series on ‘Chopper’, which will screen in 2018.
