dedicated to spotlighting new and emerging talent with visionary ideas

Founded in 2001, by husband and wife team Jennifer Fontaine and Kerem Hanci, Scorpio Rising Films remains committed to supportive collaboration with devoted and impassioned artists, encouraging original and inspired material. This duo is focused not only on achieving the highest possible level of personal performance but also on fostering an atmosphere of cooperative creativity in each project they undertake.

Having effectively piloted several projects, including Mementos, an award winning short film spoof of Christopher Nolan’s thriller Memento, Scorpio Rising Films has enjoyed success in all of its forms. In the summer of 2004, they embarked on their first foray into feature producing with Scott Somerndike’s romantic comedy 3 Wise Women. Their most recent film, The Last Time We Were..., was honored with a Silver Remi at the 2006 Worldfest Houston and played to packed houses at The Los Angeles International Short Film Festival and The Beloit International Film Festival.

While working on The Last Time We Were... Jennifer Fontaine, Kerem Hanci and the film’s writer and star, Mark Bernier discovered they had a similar vision and shared passion for storytelling. Since joining forces, Scorpio Rising Films and Jackie Frost Films are working diligently to bring their newest feature, Glass Houses to the big screen.
