Founded in 2001, by husband and wife team Jennifer Fontaine and Kerem Hanci, Scorpio Rising Films remains committed to supportive collaboration with devoted and impassioned artists, encouraging original and inspired material. This duo is focused not only on achieving the highest possible level of personal performance but also on fostering an atmosphere of cooperative creativity in each project the
y undertake. SRF has effectively piloted several projects, including Mementos, an award winning short spoof of Christopher Nolan’s thriller Memento and The Clown Project webseries, Season 2 of which, is currently in development. In 2004, they embarked on their first foray into feature producing with Scott Somerndike’s romantic comedy 3 Wise Women
and their film, The Last Time We Were..., was honored with a Silver Remi at the 2006 WorldFest Houston, which also played to packed houses at The Los Angeles International Shorts Film Festival and The Beloit International Film Festival. Since joining forces with Marlo Bernier’s Jackie Frost Films, Scorpio Rising Films has wrapped several meaningful projects including the heavy-hitting short Stealth and the family feature Finding John Smith (both co-written by the duo, directed by Bernier and produced by Fontaine). Next in the pipeline for this team is the neo noir crime thriller Glass Houses that will be shot in New Orleans. Their development slate includes eight more features; The Blue Motel, The Taxi Bride, Liz, LA Talking, Thunder on the Mountain, Anna, Meat Men and Stealth.
