On Wednesday, September 8th at 6:30pm, New Filmmakers Presents Penny and Charlie.
Set in the 1950's, Penny and Charlie tells the story of Penny, an eight-year-old girl struggling to cope with her mother's impending death from a chronic illness. Her reaction is to take control - to assume more responsibilities, to please and protect her mother. Penny's brother, Charlie, much to her ire, keeps his mother at a distance, increasingly misbehaving and acting destructively. Over the course of one miserably hot summer day - with her father away at work and Charlie working her last, raw nerve - Penny loses her grasp on the control that has kept her intact.
