Theatrical Release of
A MAN NAMED PEARL
The Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden, a preservation project of the Garden Conservancy, is the subject of a new feature length film entitled A MAN NAMED PEARL.
A MAN NAMED PEARL is about Pearl Fryar, an African-American man who challenged stereotypes by creating a garden paradise on his three acre yard. With no formal training and limited resources, Pearl takes throwaway plants from a local nursery and teaches himself the art of topiary gardening.
Told in a candid and often humorous way A MAN NAMED PEARL opens both hearts and minds and is an expression of Pearl’s genuine belief that anyone can rise above obstacles and social barriers.
The film is distributed by Shadow Distribution and is directed by Scott Galloway and Brent Pierson. For more information call Karen O’Hara, Shadow Distribution (520)326-0813
