The studio will also be available to creatives who need a space
Pennington Productions officially cut the ribbon on its studio in Gainesboro recently. The studio offers photography and videography services.
“We did it! Thank you so much to everyone that came out last night. I’m so glad that the studio is finished, so that now the real work can begin. This could not have been possible without my family helping me renovate the studio. I’ll make a cool video showing the inside next week. Now it’s time to start creating some cool stuff! I can’t wait,” said owner Zachary Pennington in a statement.

Creative and need a space to create? Pennington says the studio will also be available to you.
“After living in Cookeville for the past four years, I moved back to my beautiful hometown of Gainesboro over four months ago. This has been the best decision, and I couldn’t be happier being home. About two months ago, I signed the lease to a historic 160-year-old building. The timing could not be more perfect. My dream was coming true,” according to Pennington.
Donald Gentry, Pennington’s Grandfather, owned a space on the square for over 40 years. Inspiration is often passed from generation to generation.
“All my life, I have dreamed of having a business on the square just like him. Thankfully, that will soon become a reality. In fact, my studio is neighboring his old shop. I often think about him being on the other side of the wall. That I am now walking the same sidewalks to work as he once did, literally following in his footsteps,” said Pennington.

“I am so excited to create amazing work in this studio. This will not be your typical studio. It is next level,” according to Pennington.
