Jersey Shore Entertainment announced on June 3 that Emmy-nominated director Anna Simone Scott will direct two upcoming feature film projects, Blue Hotel and MURDER! Molly and the Mob. The company said this move strengthens its production slate alongside streaming and distribution partner Red House Streaming and RHStv.

The announcement also confirms Breaking Glass Pictures has entered a two-picture worldwide distribution agreement with Jersey Shore Entertainment. This includes the completed feature SubHysteria and presales for Blue Hotel at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Blue Hotel is being developed as a TV movie intended to serve as a backdoor pilot for an ongoing television series. Anna Simone Scott is recognized for her work in independent cinema, having received an Emmy nomination for Take My Heart. Her directorial debut, The Aerial Girl, produced by Motherhorse Productions, earned six awards and four nominations, screened at forty film festivals worldwide, and aired on PBS.

Mario Domina, CEO of Jersey Shore Entertainment, said, “We are excited to bring on Anna, an exceptional talent, Emmy-nominated for ‘Take My Heart’ and an award-winning writer, director, and actor, to join us. Her directorial debut film, ‘The Aerial Girl,’ produced by Motherhorse Productions, garnered six awards and four nominations, screening at forty film festivals worldwide and airing on PBS.”

Red House Streaming (RHS) and RHStv continue supporting Jersey Shore Entertainment’s streaming distribution efforts through original content strategy and OTT infrastructure. Kurt Heitmann, CEO of CP Communications—which owns Red House Streaming—said, “The data confirms what we’ve been building toward — CTV audiences in mid-size and regional markets are highly engaged and significantly underserved by national content pipelines. Independent film is uniquely positioned to capture that attention. RHStv gives independent creators and production companies a direct distribution path into those markets…”

RHStv has recently ranked among leading lifestyle applications in the United States with more than 6 million viewers across its platforms. It also served as a supporting sponsor of the 2026 Sunscreen Film Festival in St. Petersburg.

The St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce serves as a primary organization supporting economic growth in the region through business advocacy initiatives such as hosting events that foster community well-being, according to the official website.
