About


NELLIE'S PENCILS is a production company founded by Kimberly Kalaja, an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and Fulbright. Our mission is to generate meaningful and entertaining stories that create awareness and initiate conversations about the way we define ourselves as local and global citizens.

Kimberly believes stories are the foundations of our identities. They have the uncanny power to shape our realities, and are one of the most powerful means of connecting people.

Nellie's Pencils is committed to the free exchange of ideas among individuals and cultures, to the celebration of intellectual and cultural diversity, and to freedom of speech, expression, and thought.

Our Latest project:
Nellie’s Pencils is asking for your support to bring the “Best Short Screenplay” award-winning script, “The Lesson,” to the big screen with the help of your tax-deductible donations. 
 
WHY THIS FILM
This film will be the first of its kind --a film that does not glamorize or vilify gun owners. A film that questions consequences without judging choices. 
 
OUR TARGET AUDIENCE (pun intended) 
We are aiming to bring two groups of people into the movie theater and into a conversation:
·     those who would consider buying a gun for self-defense
·     and those who would never buy a gun under any circumstances. 
 
“The Lesson” is a film for everyone – regardless of your views or politics. It is for anyone who has friends and family members they love deeply -- even when they hold very different beliefs.
