Pete Ohs works as a director, producer, writer, editor, and cinematographer. He has produced and directed five feature films in the past five years. In 2025, he was at Sundance with OBEX, a fantasy adventure feature he produced, co-wrote and shot. This was followed by The True Beauty of Being Bitten By a Tick, a genre-bending horror satire he directed, co-wrote and shot.

Here, Pete joins us to discuss Erupcja, a "foreign film" experiment that was produced with a light outline and shot chronologically in Warsaw, Poland. A volcanic eruption strands Bethany (Charli xcx) and her soon-to-be fiancé, Rob (Will
Madden) in Warsaw, Poland. Taking the explosive event as a sign, she reunites with
her childhood friend, Nel (Lena Góra), and embarks on a European adventure that
forces her to confront the pains and pleasures of growing up.

Pete discusses his creative process and the collaboration with Charli xcx that influenced the way the story was told. 

1-2 Special releases Erupcja In Theaters on April 17, 2026.
