In September, Mary Beth Warner and Bernhard Streitweiser were thrilled to see their fearless director, Lena, get the award for Best Director (Female) at the Central Coast International Film Festival in Ventura, California! It was the last award of the evening, and it got a great response. It was also gratifying to hear members of the audience talk about the film after the screening. There always seems to be at least one person who can relate to Ian’s character.
Max Streitweiser and Mary Beth participated in the Q and A with their editor, Randi Barros, who came down from San Luis Obispo for the event. If you want to see some photos and video from the event, check out their Instagram at @penniespictures.
Next up – The Alexandria Film Festival – tickets are available for purchase here. PENNIES we will be in Shorts Program II, Saturday, November 9 at 7:00 pm at the Northern Virginia Community College Auditorium.
