The Red is an 8-minute psychological thriller created by Borderline Films (makers of Martha Marcy May Marlene and Simon Killer) and advertising agency SS+K on behalf of SALT, a free resource created by the non-profit American Student Assistance.
The Red is aimed towards making college students and recent graduates aware of their student loans and the inescapable anxiety and dread that it creates. The film is part of a sustained, multi-media campaign created to compel and empower young people to take control of their debt on a practical, day-to-day level.
The Red, distributed to theaters by Hollywood Branding International, premiered on May 2, 2013, in five major cities: Boston, MA; Washington, D.C.; Chicago, IL; Seattle, WA; and Tampa Bay, FL. Entertainment Nation, a division of Hollywood Branding International hosted VIP film premiere events in conjunction with the theatrical broadcast in each city. The entire film short is now streaming online at FaceTheRed.com.
