The film, presented at Penn's Zellerbach Theatre on December 13th, was attended by the director who participated in an after-film Q&A session.

“Many thanks to you and your colleagues for presenting the movie BILLY THE KID. As a former special education teacher, I strongly believe that the movie needs to be seen by every high school student, school administrator, psychologist, and teacher in the country!” Comment from a "Billy the Kid" attendee
