Darryn Exists
Short Film (Full Length) – 2010
In this short off-beat romance, Penelope (Anna Kennedy), a temp and unpublished romance novelist, discovers that in order to find love, she has to find herself. Combining fact and fantasy Penelope goes on a quirky quest to write her own love story: from dating, to group therapy, to a 'man rack' that memorably visualises Penelope's tendencies towards the fictional. Veterans Ginette McDonald (Penelope's agent) and Jed Brophy (a short date) are included amongst the supporting cast. Darryn Exists won an honourable mention at Nashville Film Festival.
Probably my favourite short of the lot. A simple Wellington-set story of a woman looking for love, told with a good sense of humour and an inventive visual style.– Flicks.co.nz’s Andrew Hedley reviews the 2011 ‘Homegrown’ section of the New Zealand International Film Festival
