Peter Paige

What earns my respect for Peter Paige is that he refused to stay only in front of the camera. Best known as Emmett Honeycutt on Queer as Folk, he expanded into writing and directing, beginning with Say Uncle. When a performer who understands how it feels to be acted moves to the other side of the lens, the work tends to carry real warmth and empathy. I admire artists determined to tell their own stories rather than wait for someone else's. Born in 1969 and still creating, he embodies a stubborn creative endurance that I, as a fellow maker, deeply admire.
