The Californer/10087922

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Social media influencer Larsen Thompson, who has already made her mark as a top model and dancer, makes her film acting debut in the poignant new family drama Pearl, set for release Aug. 11 by Quiver Distribution.

Directed and written by Bobby Roth ("Prison Break," "Hawaii 5-0," "Jack the Dog"), and produced by Jeffrey White ("King Kong: Peter Jackson's Production Diaries", "Beverly Hills, 90210", "The Christmas Star") .

Pearl is a story for today, and timeless as well. Larsen Thompson plays the title character, a smart 16-year-old girl, grieving the sudden death of her mother, who moves in with Jack (Anthony LaPaglia), the dead-inside father she never knew. Both resist their new kinship, but find salvation in the beautiful odyssey of learning to love one another.
