The director says:
PENNY is a film about mourning the recent loss of my father, burnout from working in the ICU, and finding solace through the use of play - as exemplified by the character Penny’s awkward yet earnest commitment to meditation, nature worship, and conversations with a radically different kind of deity. tipo de deidad radicalmente diferente.
Penny is a conduit who expresses our collective grief and despair, yet exemplifies the unquenchable hope that lies deeper in the human heart. Death, mourning, and healing are overt themes of this piece.
