Alanah Pearce Launches Charred Pictures to Put Game Developers at the Center of Screen Adaptations

The new studio tests creator-backed financing to give game IP a straighter path from original vision to film.

Overview

  • The company’s first slate features two game-based horror films and one original feature.
  • Faith: The Unholy Trinity is in pre-production with Alanah Pearce writing and Brandon Salisbury directing, with Airdorf Games involved as executive producers.
  • Abubakar Salim will co-write and co-produce a film based on his 2025 narrative horror game Dead Take from Surgent Studios.
  • Godmother wrapped production in December and targets a 2026 festival debut with YouTuber Jacksepticeye as executive producer.
  • Pearce is raising money from YouTubers and streamers who are fans of the source games, and she says two projects reached full funding largely through these creator investors.
