Pedring Lopez was born and raised in Quezon City, Philippines. His parents ran a photo studio and his father worked as a professional and aerial photographer during the 1980s. Much of his early interest in visual arts were attributed to his early experience in helping with their family business. In high school, Pedring would spend his weekend filming weddings, birthdays and even funerals using JVC camcorders and would spend his weeknights editing projects to be delivered to customers. Peter "Pedring" Lopez never had any formal film school training and dropped out of college after he realized that he wanted to be a full-time filmmaker. He saw an ad for a news editor for IBC-13, a government ran TV network and got the job. He went on to pursue a career in broadcasting in local Philippine TV networks and later in the advertising industry as video editor. He continuously taught himself visual effects and motion design until finally being getting another job as a full-time VFX supervisor for GMA-7 Manila. A few years later, Pedring started directing music videos and TV ads - gaining him project after project as producers discovered his rare technical and creative vision and expertise in post-production and visual effects. He received several awards for music videos and TV Ads. His influences were products of his love for genre films particularly Asian horror and Hong Kong action cinema.
