Synopsis

In a deep, deep forest lives a little girl who wears a Little Red--wait a minute. You know the story. But not quite like this... Mystery. Destiny. Redemption. Sukiyaki. This musical retelling of the age-old classic has everything. And more. Little Red Jiving Hood takes place in a surreal world where houses have bagels for windows and trees sing scat.

Written and directed by Ben Hillman with music by Donald Sosin, Little Red Jiving Hood draws its inspiration from the ancient mystical bond between the hunter and the hunted - and the music of Betty Boop. In the interest of historical accuracy, Little Red Jiving Hood was filmed in the very same forest where the original incident actually took place.
