About Me.
I'm Rahel Peker, and this corner of the internet is the canvas for my dream – capturing moments, creating visual stories, and embracing creativity. Fun fact: my journey here started with interior design, took a four-year detour through California, South Africa, Brazil and the UK, and voilà, Filmmaking found me.
​
Being behind the camera, directing, and weaving stories that stir emotions - that's my happy place. Watching people transform in front of my lens, gaining confidence, and witnessing the magic unfold is pure joy.
​
My directorial debut, "Make Me Murder," blends my love for storytelling with bringing characters to life. Three years of dedication birthed our 20-minute psychological thriller. Join me in this cinematic journey! And stay tuned for the next adventure.
