Peter Shiao is a cross border entrepreneur, film and media producer, financier, marketer, social activist and commentator, who, throughout his multi-industry career, has sought to unite the East and West. He is currently the Founder and CEO of Immortal Studios, an original content studio focused on developing stories derived from the Wuxia genre (martial arts, fantasy). His father, Shiao Yi, was one of the best-known Wuxia novelists. He has been quoted extensively on all things Hollywood-China in The Economist, CNBC, The Guardian, The Los Angeles Times, The Los Angeles Business Journal, National Public Radio, The Hollywood Reporter, Shoutout LA Sampan, China Daily and many others. Now leading Immortal Studios in creating a new story universe to awaken the hero within everyone and defining a new business model centered around direct user engagement. Peter has a decades long career leading innovative entertainment and media ventures between the East and West, and has been active in empowering underserved communities. 

Peter’s favorite past time as a boy was reading Chinese Wuxia novels (many of them written by his father Shiao Yi who is an accomplished author in the genre), and drawing these martial heroes he read about. Because of these stories, he aspired to be a modern day Xia, the transcendent martial Knight who mastered themselves, and stood for righteousness and justice in a world of great stakes, poetry, romance and consequence. Peter pivoted from politics to a new career in media as a means of expressing his mission for social transformation through stories. 

He feels incredibly blessed to come full circle back to his original love with Immortal.
