"Peggy" has been selected as an Official Selection of over 65 festivals, including 8 Academy-Qualifying festivals, and has been honored to receive over 20 "Best Short Film" awards. The filmmakers would like to honor those festivals here, with particular appreciation for recognition of a comedic film, despite the stereotype that comedies can not be considered alongside dramatic films with equal weight.
