The Red Shoes is a musical, only 10 minutes in long. It was filmed entirely in Rehoboth Beach and surrounding areas with local talent.

Karen behaves well in this lifestyle of plenty, until she discovers a pair of red dancing shoes. Unable to bottle her excitement for them, she must dance. But, will Karen’s imagination carry her to trouble, or to paradise? This short film praises obedience – to one’s own heart.
The Dream Share Project addresses the question; What does it take to make your dream come true? Delaware documentarians, Chip Hiden and Alexis Irvin, traveled the country finding answers from those who have turned aspirations into reality. You will hear from an Olympic skier, one of the original Latin Kings of Comedy, a slam poet, a Project Runway fashion designer, the CEO of a sustainable flip-flop company, a beer maker, the producer of Austin City Limits and many more.
