Description:

"Pocketful of Pennies" is a surrealist feature presented in an early-cinema visual approach. The performances will be stylized, drawing from vaudeville, Kabuki theatre and deadpan. The story follows two creatures who may be anthropomorphic cats, or teenaged girls cosplaying as cats...rebellious ne'er-do-wells who find themselves looking after a heartbroken adolescent boy, Arthur, who suffers from chronic nightmares.
