    Zoom/Online see event description for link details, CA, United States

    Picturehouse 441 and ACE are proud to be partnering on a series of live virtual Q&As as part of our mutual efforts to promote media literacy.
    Join us for a Q&A with showrunner/director/co-writer Mel Eslyn, producer/co-writer Mark Duplass, editor Celia Beasley as they discuss their work on the coming-of-age television series Penelope. Feeling out of place in the modern world, 16-year-old Penelope (Megan Stott of Little Fires Everywhere) finds herself almost cosmically drawn to nature. With no plan in place, she leaves her family behind for the beguiling wilderness where she begins to establish a different kind of life for herself. As she learns by necessity, survivalism coalesces with coming of age in this poignant tale co-written by indie stalwarts Mark Duplass and Mel Eslyn, and directed and show-run by Eslyn.

  • Tommy 50th Anniversary Q&A with Actor Ann-Margret (Zoom Event)

    Zoom/Online see event description for link details, CA, United States

    Picturehouse 441 and ACE are proud to be partnering on a series of live virtual Q&As as part of our mutual efforts to promote media literacy.
    Join us for a Q&A with actor Ann-Margret as she discusses her work on the 1975 psychedelic musical fantasy Tommy. Based on The Who's classic rock opera of the same name, this phantasmagoria of sights and sounds from British provocateur Ken Russell is a wild, oddly moving ride, filled to the brim with cameos from the likes of Jack Nicholson, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, and Elton John, along with The Who themselves. The highlight of this film, though, is Ann-Margret's Oscar-nominated performance. She dives into this material like most actors do with Shakespeare, giving a performance of depth, devotion, and gut-wrenching emotion as the titular character’s mother. Also starring frequent Russell collaborator Oliver Reed and Roger Daltrey himself, with editing by Stuart Baird, ACE, Tommy proved that The Who and Ken Russell were a match made in heaven.
    This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, July 8 at 8PM ET/5PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.
