NOTES
Pearce Oysters, a family drama set on the Louisiana coastline during the catastrophic 2010 oil spill, follows the Pearces, local oyster farmers whose business, livelihood, and industry are on the brink of collapse. This eye-opening eco-fiction explores the bonds between deeply sympathetic characters: Jordan, the reluctant head of his family's storied oyster company; May, his distressed, widowed mother; and Benny, his beatnik musician brother, who returns from New Orleans in their time of crisis. Together, the Pearce family must commit to a final act of hope in the face of impending tragedy. Will it be enough to save their legacy?
