In late 2008, Huttner launched a campaign to recognize Loveleen Tandan as a nominee for Best Director at the 66th Golden Globe Awards.

Huttner launched a campaign to have Tandan recognized, as well.
Swan Day is an annual international celebration of women’s creativity and gender parity activism that began in 2008.
Although Tandan distanced herself from the campaign and claimed she had no interest in sharing the nomination with Danny Boyle, under pressure from the Women's Media Center, she was invited to the Oscars in 2009.

In late 2011, Huttner published her first book, Penny’s Picks: 50 Films by Women Filmmakers 2002-2011.
