Rabbath Creations) 2 CONNECT 1 TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MORE There is something creepily familiar about the indie fantasy-horror film “Scarlet’s Witch.†And, no, that is not just because much of the movie was shot in a scant 12 days around Kleman Plaza, the Florida State Law School, the FSU campus and the genuinely eerie Litchgate compound, just off High Road. The weird familiarity comes from the way writer-director F.C. Rabbath takes an old fairy tale that has been done by everyone from the Brothers Grimm to Walt Disney and puts several contemporary riffs and twists on it. Get a glimpse of the clever little “Witch†when The Tallahassee Film Festival and FAME present its East Coast premiere on Sunday afternoon at the IMAX Theatre, located on the film’s set of Kleman Plaza. “Scarlet’s Witch†had its U.S. premier in Los Angeles in early December. Rebooting fairy tales is back in fashion these days thanks to mega-budget, star-driven, special effects-laden films such as “Malificent†(2014) and “Into the Woods†(2014). Rabbath scales down his once-upon-a-time tale to a much more realistic, everyday level, which, at times, gives “Scarlet’s Witch†the feel of one of David Lynch’s cinematic waking nightmares. We’re pleased to present the East Coast premiere of a new mystery film made right in our own backyard ! Scarlet’s Witch is the work of Tallahassee filmmaker, F.C. Rabbath. Having recently made it’s premiere in Hollywood, join us in January for a very special IMAX screening of the feature film, with director and cast members present !

Scarlet refuses the offer of magic at first, but maintains the friendship into her college years. When her blossoming relationship with a handsome boy at school is threatened by another girl, Scarlet turns to her old friend and her sorcery to get what she wants. Will her newfound powers fulfill all her desires or destroy everything she has known and loved ? DIRECTOR F.C. Rabbath WRITER F.C.
