Penguins (Giant Screen)

A very human story of a lone penguin’s often comic, sometimes tragic, struggle to survive, find love, and raise a family in the wildest city on earth. At just 3 feet tall, his species is synonymous with sophisticated elegance world over.

SYNOPSIS

Returning from a year-long fishing trip, he arrives back hoping to find a mate. But he can’t believe his bad luck, there are 50% fewer females available this year. The stress is enough to make his feathers fall out. In desperation, his best mates take up with one another, unaware that two males can’t make an egg.

Real estate is in short supply, and living cheek by jowl with 6 million other residents, twice the population of Chicago, is complicated with all the joys, hatred and conflicts of our world.

When he finally starts a family the hooligans in the neighbourhood reveal themselves in a different light. Orcas lurk below the ocean waves; massive elephant seals control the beaches while giant petrels and murderous skuas dominate the skies above. Can he survive and raise a chick to become - The Bachelor King?

Shot over 6 months, using specially designed 3D cameras stereoscopic rigs, this story immerses the audience in a dramatic rite of passage tale in one of the last great frozen wildernesses in the world.
