Brian Wayne Peterson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Wayne Peterson is a screenwriter and television producer. He wrote the script for 1999 film But I'm a Cheerleader and has worked on many episodes of Smallville as writer and producer.

Shortly after Peterson graduated from USC School of Cinematic Arts, Jamie Babbit, the director for But I'm a Cheerleader, asked Peterson to write a script for her film after reading a story he had written about a gay cowboy.[1] Peterson used his own personal experiences to help him write the story, which is about a group of teenagers that attend reparative therapy camp. He is gay himself,[2] and had had some experience of reparative therapy while working at a prison clinic for sex offenders.[3]
