Scarlett Pictures would love a fancy website but instead we just have this - a little offering of what we've been up to. Something new and exciting will arrive very shortly, we are almost certain of it:
Samson & Delilah
A feature film
On release in South Africa, releasing soon in the UK (April 2nd) and The Netherlands (April 22nd), in DVD stores in Australia now with a website that looks like this.
Making Samson & Delilah
A one-hour documentary
World Premiere - Melbourne International Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, New Zealand Film Festival 2009
Available on the double-disc Samson & Delilah DVD that is in stores in Australia now or available online here.
A director, a producer, two teenage actors, a small crew and six weeks in the desert. Throw in an observational documentary filmmaker and the result is a candid and affectionate behind-the-scenes look at the making of the hit feature film Samson & Delilah.

Financed by Screen Australia, NSW Film & TV Office, ABC TV.
Many of the images and artworks included in the documentary as part of the Colliding Worlds Exhibition were authored by the late Professor Donald Thomson and form part of the Donald Thomson Collection. Scarlett Pictures would like to extend their thanks to the Thomson Family for the inclusion of several of these images and artworks in Making Samson & Delilah.
