Peter Cross
(Founder and creative guru)
It all started when I was about 5.
I knew I wanted to make films from that early on and put my hands on my first Sony Handycam at the age of 8 when me and our kid would film our versions of the movies we loved.
Ironically I still use Sony today and still love picking up the camera the same as I did all those years ago.

(Co-founder and social media whizz)
I met Peter when he gave me my first job out of university and we hit it off straight away. We were both in marketing back then but always yearned to break away on our own and make films.
It took a few years and a couple of job changes before we were able to start Hype but finally it all came to fruition in 2017 when we got our first paid gig making a promo video for a swanky barbers in Preston.
