From that experience, he engineered a style that works seamlessly across all digital platforms, devices, and broadcast. He is producer, director, and founder of the social video company Unpopular Now. As an artist and maker, Peter crafts hand-made animation for international brands such as: Target, Coke, Chipotle, and Amazon. His videos have been viewed over 150 million times.

Pilar Prassas
Prassas is our amazing producer. They are a storyteller at heart. With a Broadcast Journalism degree from Boston University, Prassas enjoys bringing other people's stories to life. Prassas’s first documentary IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH was a gift that they were given by the late Marilyn Maneely. Shooting inside the window of Maneely's life allowed Prassas to attach a human face to the social/political issue of same-sex marriage. Peter Heacock worked as editor on the film and began a creative partnership. When Prassas is not keeping unPOP on track they are directing and producing their second documentary about extreme legislation around trans youth being passed in the southern United States.
