Director, Cinematographer Born: January 25, 1943 in San Diego, CA Biography:Cinematographer/filmmaker "Richard Pearce" made an auspicious directorial debut in 1979 with "Heartland", a moving, unflinching look at the struggle of a turn-of-the-century Wyoming farm family that earned a Golden Bear at that year's Berlin Film Festival. Pearce earned an English degree from Yale and a degree in political economics from the New School for Social Research in New York before going on to film several documentaries in the early '70s including "Woodstock" (1970) and "Marjoe" (1972). His interest in filmmaking stemmed from assisting in the creation of "Don't Look Back" (1967), Pennebaker's documentary portrait of "Bob Dylan". Following the success of "Heartland", Pearce earned more critical praise for his films "Threshold" (1983) and "Country" (1984). He continues to both make feature films and work as a cinematographer. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
