A Little More about Penta
"Penta is the bio-mechanical companion for the discerning connoisseur... In just over twelve hours, the perfect girl will be standing in your home." Based upon an Italian folk tale, Penta questions femininity, humanity and the system of abuse. Our titular heroine is a robot created to do nothing more than be the perfect woman – but what does that mean? As she acclimates to the world around her, her changes startle her owner and spur a chain of grim events. Cast: Penta – Porcelain Dalya Adam – Shaun Callaghan Dr. Jupiter – Diana Porter Paula – Maria Napatov Grace – Ella Martin Delivery Guy – Tim Crowley Crew: Producer: Adrienne Rahn Editor and Director of Photography: Bryan McKay Production Designer: Laura Ceredona Sound Engineer: Dan McGahey Assistant Director: Trinidy Patterson Production Assistant: Liz Gagakis Written and Directed by Andrea Wolanin
