After Multiple Maniacs, Peranio developed a successful career creating the sets for all subsequent films of Waters and other films and TV shows, including Barry Levinson's Liberty Heights and the crime dramas, Homicide: Life on the Street, The Corner, and the HBO television production The Wire.[2][3]
