Jack Pearkes

• After high school I worked at software companies in adminstrative, engineering, and product roles, with about 9 years at HashiCorp.
• Originally I am from a small mountain town in British Columbia, but I now live in Los Angeles.
• I support non-profits with time, operational advice, and money in and around the LA River Basin, focusing on the areas of housing, mental health, nutrition, addiction, and arts & culture. In 2022-2023 I worked as an EMT-B in LA County doing 911 medical response and BLS transport.
• In 2023 I started working in independent film, with a focus on non-fiction and hybrid filmmaking. I have numerous equity and grant financing projects releasing in 2024-25 and several independently produced films in various stages of production.
