Peter Shiao: The Hero's Journey

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.
