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 since 2002. His consistent writing partner on Smallville is Kelly Souders.
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 who attend conversion therapy camp. He is gay himself,[2] and had had some experience of conversion therapy while working at a prison clinic for sex offenders.[3] In 1999, Variety named him one of "10 Screenwriters to Watch".[4]
