The screenplay for Curfew has garnered significant acclaim, winning 16 prizes in international screenplay contests, mostly in the USA. Curfew has also gained international recognition, being selected for the Canary Islands International Film Market (CIIF) in 2019 and the First Co-Production Lab at the XI Central and Eastern European Film Festival.
In 2020, the project was further honored with selections for the Málaga Festival Fund Co-Production Event (MAFF, Spain) and the Diorama International Film Festival and Market Co-Production Bazaar (New Delhi, India).
Curfew was invited by the American Film Market 2022 and artificial intelligence platform Largo A.I. to pitch the project during AFM in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. Also, Largo A.I. and Auchy Film Festival in Switzerland selected Curfew to pitch the project in 2021.
In addition to his work on Curfew, Pereira has directed four documentaries and two award-winning short fiction films in Peru. His expertise extends to television, where he co-directed over 100 episodes of two successful Peruvian TV series, Gamboa and Malahierba.
