Peschel has been working in film since the 1990s. He taught himself film-making, starting with music videos for popular independent music acts like Frank Black (Ex-Pixies) who wrote the soundtrack for “Fight Club”. His first two short movies Rollo Aller! and Rollo Aller! 2, shot on Super-8 about two slackers succeeded to gain cult status in Hamburg, winning audience awards at two German Film festivals.

Peschel later worked as cameraman for German directors Klaus Lemke, Wolfgang Büld and Fatih Akin. The TV documentary Punk in the Jungle, shot in Indonesia with him as director of photography was nominated for the prestigious German TV award Grimme-Preis in 2008.

After directing short and mid-length films, Peschel co-directed the mockumentary Dicke Hose with Miles Terheggen in 2009 to critical acclaim. His first feature film Pete The Heat (2009) won the Montblanc Script Award at Filmfest Hamburg in 2010. Peschel's second feature film Si-o-se Pol (2013) set in Algeria, Spain and France is his first directorial work with an international theme.
