Penance is a five-minute fantasy comedy that uses the idea of atonement as the starting point for a playful genre story. Its compact format allows the film to move quickly from its premise into a deliberately heightened world of fantasy and comic consequences.
The project is notable for its extremely small production scale and its mix of theatrical genre elements with independent filmmaking. The short format keeps the tone energetic and places the emphasis on the performers and central comic idea.
Penance is a recent micro-budget short with limited commercial distribution. Check these services for current digital listings.
