Penguin in the Room have been delighted to work with award-winning filmmaker D R Hood on her crowd-funding campaign for new feature This Family.
D R Hood’s critically acclaimed first feature Wreckers, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Claire Foy and Shaun Evans was nominated for best British debut at the London International Film Festival, won the Perspectives Competition at Moscow IFF, was screened on the BBC and has been seen worldwide. Wreckers was distributed by Artificial Eye in the UK who described it as:
“a debut which changed the face of British Cinema” – Artificial Eye

Hood’s second feature film This Family will be filming late spring, with Diana Quick and Robert Sheehan currently attached as part of a large ensemble cast. Hood is currently crowd funding to raise money to make the film, a story that has been close to her heart for over fifteen years.
