A host of L.A. musicians including Julia Holter, Nite Jewel, and La Sera have appealed for help in locating Travis Peterson, a filmmaker and video director who went missing before the new year. Peterson, 40, was last seen December 29 at a 76 gas station in L.A.’s La Cañada Flintridge, on the 1500 block of Foothills Boulevard, LA Weekly reports. He drives a silver 2002 Volvo wagon, with the California license plate “4YCV509.” Peterson’s wife, Emilie Halpern, posted a missing persons report on Instagram, which you can see below. “Peterson is described as a 40-year-old male with blond hair and green eyes,” the notice reads. “He stands 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs around 180 pounds.”

Peterson’s work as a director includes videos for Ariel Pink, Nite Jewel, Glass Candy, and Vivian Girls.
