Joe Penna
Jônatas de Moura Penna, best known as Joe Penna (born May 29, 1987), is a Brazilian filmmaker and musician, known from both his YouTube channel MysteryGuitarMan and his feature films. He resides in Los Angeles, California.
In March 2016, his short film Turning Point was selected to play at the Tribeca Film Festival.
In February 2017, Penna began production of his directorial debut film, Arctic. It was shot in Iceland and stars Mads Mikkelsen. Arctic garnered enthusiastic reviews as an Official Selection for the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. Its theatrical premiere was on February 1, 2019.
In June 2019, Penna began shooting on the sci-fi movie Stowaway starring Anna Kendrick and Toni Collette.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the release of Stowaway was delayed from its initial summer 2020 release by Sony. Netflix subsequently acquired the rights to the film, which achieved the #1 spot worldwide. This success led Netflix to also acquire the US rights to Penna's earlier film Arctic, which similarly achieved #1 ranking in the country.
In August 2022, Penna signed on to direct the sci-fi thriller Trespasser, produced by Jason Fuchs and Brad Fuller. The film, based on a Black List screenplay follows a father and daughter living in isolation who encounter a mysterious otherworldly creature.
In December 2022, Penna was tapped to produce Anna Kendrick's directorial debut Woman of the Hour. The thriller, based on the true story of Cheryl Bradshaw, a bachelorette on the 1970s TV matchmaking show The Dating Game whose chosen bachelor turned out to be serial killer Rodney Alcala, was acquired by multiple international distributors at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film sold to Netflix for $11M and debuted with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
