​Eden Marryshow

Eden Marryshow is a native of Flatbush, Brooklyn.  He was an educator for the NYC Department of Education for ten years in Far Rockaway, NY (the 6th borough.) When one of his beloved students, Latina, was shot in a drive by shooting he finally realized how short life is. He remembers one day when he had to leave class early to go to College, Latina who was about eight or eight and half at the time and asked, “why you leaving,” he said “I’m learning to make movies.” “Why?” she said sharply. “It’s my dream.” “What, you gonna be famous?,” and he said “You know it!”  She said smiling “I believe you Mr. Marryshow.” He never forgot that. He made a promise and now it was time to keep it. He decided it was time to follow his dream and he hasn’t looked back since.

 

Mr. Marryshow is proud to have acted in Slick Naim’s Full Circle, which won Best New York Film and Audience Favorite Film at the New York International Film Festival.

 

Although acting is his first love, he has also written, acted and directed in two feature films, Eklypse and This Thing Called Love; which he sold over 3,000 copies of on the streets of New York which he used supplement his income after he left the Department of Ed.
