The Film Institute at Montclair State Presents: Tony Pemberton-Writer/Directoror)
Daily Variety cited Tony Pemberton as One of Ten Directors to Watch when his first feature film Beyond the Ocean premiered in the Dramatic Competition in the Sundance Film Festival. It was nominated for a Grand Jury award, and received the Princess Grace Foundation Statue Award. “Beyond” weaves together a character’s life that is split in time by her own immigration and memory and was made independently in Russia, Austria, and America by Go East Film, Intrinsic Value, & Ursula Wolschlager. His newest film is Buddha’s Little Finger, a drama set during the failed coup against President Mikhail Gorbachev based on the book of the same name.
Pemberton is an associate filmmaking professor at MSU's School of Communication and Media.
