The South County Filmmakers' (SCF) latest production, Through the Red Door, was an official selection of two film festivals, the Mystic (CT) International Film Festival and Rhode Island's 401 FilmFest.

This short film asks the question, Is it real or is it not? A comedy/satire, the movie depicts a colorful, alternate reality which frequently mirrors the absurdities of our current times. The camera moves through a realm of stunning locations. Characters are familiar yet surreal, Tea Parties become great again, and rules no longer apply!
All members of the production team are from Rhode Island. Filmed entirely in South County, the film was written and directed by two members of the SCF, Kate Marion and Anita Russo. The cinematographer, Rajah Samaroo, hails from Pawtucket.
The SCF is a group of about 10 amateur filmmakers who began creating films about four years ago. The SCF is a RI non-profit organization that produces movies from the ground up, beginning with a concept and ending with a premiere! Through the Red Door is the club's fourth film. They are based in Wakefield and Narragansett. New members are always welcome. Contact: [email protected].
