Within 5 months of graduating, he was offered a Director's position at Wideboys Film and Television, a London post-production facility.
Pearce departed to direct several well-received documentaries and television shows including Acting Up!, Between the Covers (presented-led book program with Simon Cowell's brother Tony), indie music videos and short films.
Pearce then wrote, executive produced and directed the micro-budget horror Night Junkies, which starred Katia Winter (Sleepy Hollow, Fox series) and was distributed by Allumination and Content Media, now known as Kew Media, worldwide on DVD and digital in 2007.
Other projects in development are Lost Inside (psychological ghost thriller), Alpha (action science fiction) and Cain's Awakening (action/thriller).
He also wrote a graphic novel titled Cain's Awakening (working with Brodie's Law and 2000 AD artist David Bircham), which has since been adapted into another feature film screenplay and project in development.
