After meeting D A (Don) Pennebaker during his senior year in college, Richard Pearce got his first taste of filmmaking helping out on Pennebaker's Bob Dylan documentary, "Don't Look Back" (1967). He went on to shoot such documentaries as Emile de Antonio's "America is Hard to See" (1968), "Interviews with My Lai Veterans" (1969) and three Oscar-winners, "Woodstock" (1970), "Marjoe" (1972) and "Hearts and Minds" (1974). Pearce edited, shot and directed the non-fiction film "Campamento" (1970), about the ill-fated Allende regime in Chile and was one of the credited cinematographers on Neil Young's rock documentary "Rust Never Sleeps" (1979).
