Pete Travis is a Manchester-born television and film director. Before becoming a director he was a social worker. After taking a post-graduate course in film-making he bought the film rights to Nick Hornby's Faith for £12,000. A producer invested the same amount in the film and Faith premiered at the London Film Festival in 1997. Travis became interested in film-making late in life, inspired by Alan Clarke and Costa Gavras.[1] Faith lead to direction work on the ITV series The Bill, Cold Feet and The Jury. In 2003 Paul Greengrass sent Travis the script to Omaghâ€"a dramatisation of the Omagh bombing that he co-wrote with Guy Hibbertâ€"after seeing his work on The Jury and Henry VIII.[1] The Channel 4/RTÉ television film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2004, where it won the Discovery Award.[2] The next year it won the British Academy Television Award for Best Single Drama, which Travis shared with the producers.[3] He was also nominated for the Irish Film and Television Award for Best Film Director.[4] His first studio film, Vantage Point, opened in the United States in February 2008 to the number one box office spot.[5] Another film, Endgame, about the end of apartheid in South Africa is in pre-production.[1] Filmography| Year | Title | Awards and other notes |
