As a co-founder and Head of Production at Triality Studios, Andy has been at the forefront of pioneering virtual production in NC while creating commercial content for agencies and influencers ranging from Ryan Reynolds' MNTN to Mr Beast. While a College Ambassador with the Producers Guild of America (PGA), he produced 2 feature films, one currently with distribution. As a director, Andy has crafted shorts that have screened at festivals internationally (For the Taking, Caesura, A Piacere) and worked with new talent, influencers, and established Hollywood actors. His projects have filmed in Los Angeles studios to the sub-freezing slopes above Lake Tahoe to the Mojave desert. In his own work, Andy leans into magical realism, stories that make us as "what if" and help us see our own worlds a little differently.
Peter Scheibner
Director & Producer
As a director, Peter believes that the greatest role he can fill is giving shape to the story, then finding the right team to tell it. Filming around the world, Peter is drawn to unique stories and unknown worlds. Some of Peter’s awards have been for brands like L.L. Bean, or for his documentary work around Sept. 11th. As the Head of Creative at Triality Studios, Peter works with teams that come to Triality to shape their vision and see it come to reality.

Art, both physical and virtual, is limited to assets already existing at BTO and Triality. Additions to physical art including but not limited to costumes, props, set dec, etc. may be additions to scope. The class's director/producer team may be able to allocate some resources in particular resources or help creatively source materials to elevate the scenes. Similarly, VFX, original music, and complex sound design may be out of original scope and questions on those fronts will be addressed on a case-by-case basis by the class's director/producer team.
