PENTON: The John Penton Story will be screened the last night of the Motorcycle Film Festival in New York City on September 26.
PENTON: The John Penton Story (TJPS) has been named as an official selection to be screened at the Motorcycle Film Festival (MFF) in New York City, September 24-27. The film will be screened as the last film of the festival on Saturday night in Brooklyn at The Gutter Theatre.
The Motorcycle Film Festival marks The John Penton Story’s first official film festival appearance, and it is in the running for awards at the event.
“It is great to be officially selected for this truly unique and core film festival that the Penton film speaks to,” said Todd Huffman, the film’s director and producer at Pipeline Digital Media (PDM). “I’m looking forward to seeing all the other films as well and share in everyone’s creative endeavors.”
The judges for the MFF had to view hundreds of entries from talented filmmakers from all over the world to narrow down their official selections in categories such as shorts, narrative and documentaries. The John Penton Story was entered as a “Feature Length Documentary”. All finalists will be screened at The Gutter Theatre between September 24 and September 26.
“We were so thrilled when heard the judges had chosen Penton for screening!” said Jack Drury, Co-Founder of The Motorcycle Film Festival. “It’s an incredible story that needs to be told about a man who completely changed motorcycling as we know it. I had no idea how indebted the entire world of modern off-road motorcycling is to John Penton. [It is] a definite must-see movie for anyone who’s ever dreamed of dirt.”
