Read all about the world record beating People's Premiere here.

Normal film premieres are glitzy and exclusive, with nobody invited except VIPs - but the People's Premiere is different: VIPs, IPs and plain old Ps are all welcome to the world's first INclusive film launch. Featuring synchronised screenings at a staggering 60 different cinemas across the nation. With a solar-powered cinema tent pitched in London's Leicester Square, the People's Premiere is also the planet's first truly green film premiere - no greenwash allowed.

She is passionate about getting the great UK public up and active, vocal and positive about pushing forward change for people and planet.

She has been involved in green issues for over 25 years. She is currently teaching university students about low carbon communities and making a short film about why ordinary people are joining the low carbon communities movement. Penney said, "taking positive environmental action is no longer an option, not just a point of discussion. This is the most urgent issue we face and I for one am not prepared to wait for it all to crash about my ears. I, like thousands and thousands of others want to be part of the solution. Action is flourishing at the grass roots. The Government is clueless, we need to show them the way and show them what democracy is about - a just and equitable society based on working co-operatively that recognises the planet has rights too."

Please note all these details are still provisional, as there's many a slip twixt cup and lip, and nobody's ever pulled off something quite like what we're planning before...
