Peter Kokholm Rasmussen (1956–2008) was an Australian screenplay writer and machinima producer. Rasmussen was a leader in machinima production and development.[1]

He is perhaps best known for the feature-length 2007 machinima film Stolen Life. Stolen Life won Best Picture, Best Visual Design, and Best Direction at the 2007 European Machinima Festival, as well as other international awards.[1] Rasmussen is credited as producer and writer for the film.[2]

Before becoming a filmmaker, Rasmussen was a cinematographer. He had a congenital eye disease however, which cut his cinematography career short.[1]

Rasmussen's writing credits include In the Winter Dark, The Picture Woman, and Mad Bomber in Love, in addition to Stolen Life.[2]

In 2009 the Sydney Film Festival launched the Peter Rasmussen Innovation Award for work described as fringe, maverick, or innovative.[3]
