3 Penny Films Announces Partnership with University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish Digital Media

3 Penny Films, a Bethesda, Md. based collegiate sports television and web programming production company, announced today its partnership with University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish Digital Media (FIDM). 3 Penny Films and FIDM have engaged in multiple projects since spring 2012 and are currently partnering on a four-month project to chronicle the 2013 Notre Dame football season as well as select stories related to Notre Dame’s inaugural seasons in other sports in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).  

3 Penny Films produces both television and web programming for FIDM. To date, 3 Penny Films has produced three behind-the-scenes shows chronicling the Irish football program that have aired on NBC Sports Network, with the next network program scheduled to air November 25 at 6:30 p.m. Additionally, 3 Penny Films has produced five shows that premiered on NBC Sports Network featuring Notre Dame men’s and women’s basketball, hockey, women’s soccer and men’s lacrosse.

 “3 Penny Films has brought a cinematic level of production to our programming,” said Dan Skendzel, senior associate athletics director for Fighting Irish Digital Media.  “What makes them so valuable to us, in addition to their outstanding storytelling ability, is that they understand and respect our culture and see themselves as educators at heart.”
