I believe that the groundhog was right when its shadow told us that is will be an early spring. Even though the Delaware Beaches are a little quieter during the month of February…..I stand corrected….here is What’s Going On?

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, a young orphan with a wild imagination, strikes creative gold in her new trial home, the “Foster Mother Mansion”. 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.

The master of mystery, Agatha Christie, will keep you guessing until the very end, with a twist ending that you’ll be sworn to secrecy to keep!! More info?
