Pearly Mitnasala’s Awarded By Multiple Festival Wins and Fierce Roles!
Talented actress Pearly Mitnasala has had a remarkable year, adding multiple festival to her growing list of achievements — all while continuing to carve out a space in the film world that’s both dynamic and deeply personal. Her work in two standout short films, Wash My Sin and Conversion Therapy, has resonated with audiences and critics alike, earning her critical recognition across international circuits. After a bold career pivot from engineering to acting, the South Asian actress — fluent in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu — is proving herself in the entertainment industry. Pearly’s latest success is the culmination of emotionally charged performances, strong collaborations, and a fierce belief in stories that matter.
Performances in Wash My Sin and Conversion Therapy
Both short films — Wash My Sin, directed by Maria Sole Quintili, and Conversion Therapy, directed by Tyler Townsend — showcase Pearly’s emotional range, from internalized trauma to quiet resilience. Her role as Ria in Wash My Sin, a woman grappling with guilt and agency, earned her Best Supporting Actress at both the Kollywood International Film Festival and Nitiin International Film Festival. Meanwhile, her turn as Sister Cecily in Conversion Therapy has been met with equal acclaim. The film — a tight, unnerving piece examining systemic harm through a religious lens — helped her and her co-stars win Best Short (1–5 minutes) at the Couch Film Festival, where the cast was also nominated for Best Drama and Best Cast.
An Award-Winning Circuit Run!
Pearly Mitnasala has earned festival awards from five countries and nearly a dozen international programs. Highlights include: • Best US Short Film wins for both Wash My Sin and Conversion Therapy at the Navy and Nitiin International Film Festivals, respectively. • A Special Mention for Best Student Short at the Athvikvaruni International Film Festival. • Best Thriller Short Film for Wash My Sin at both Kollywood and Athvikvaruni, cementing its status as a standout psychological piece. • A shared Best Writer award with co-creator Maria Sole Quintili at Couch Film Festival — a rare nod that recognizes both acting and creative input. Across these wins, she has remained collaborative, frequently praising her fellow cast and crew.
Recent Red Carpet Movie Night in Beverly Hills
Her recent role in Fern, a high-energy short created by high school students through the Film2Future program, took her to the red carpet at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills — an experience she calls “surreal, grounding, and unforgettable.”
With over 16 festival wins and 3 nominations to her name, Pearly Mitnasala is building momentum, not just as an actress, but as a multidimensional artist. Her work blends discipline with empathy, and her performances continue to elevate in the entertainment industry!
