SHORT NARRATIVE

Pearls follows the story of teenager Don, played by trans actress Michelle Raine, and stars Robb Wells (Trailer Park Boys) as Don’s father and Jennie Raymond (Sex and Violence) as Don’s mother.

In Pearls, Miranda realizes her son Donald can only become the woman she is by defying her father and leaving their farm, in an outfit Miranda provides that includes a much-loved heirloom.

The film showcases its original song, “Dawn Breaks”, written by Ian Sherwood and performed by award-winning Nova Scotian singer Jenn Grant.
