Life
After Peter Honess attended Queen's College in Taunton from 1956 to 1963, his father, a studio manager in MGM's UK office , found him a job as a production assistant.

Back in England, however, he had to work again as an assistant in films such as The Dogs of War and Desire , before he was allowed to direct an independent film editing for the first time in 1984 with His greatest victory , Electric Dreams and Memed, mein Falke .
The first film that Honess edited for Russell Mulcahy followed in 1986 with Highlander .
