That’s a Wrap: Code Red Premieres at Ringling College

That’s a Wrap: Code Red Premieres at Ringling College

The story of creating Code Red is one of determination and inspired philanthropy. The film originated as a senior thesis project in the Ringling College Film Department’s Branded Entertainment track, but production was unfortunately halted due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring of 2020. The students who graduated that May, could have let the project go. But they, and our faculty, were fully committed to this project. Of course, producing the film as graduates came with additional expenses. 

Spearheaded by Jada Wing Hang Poon, who graduated from Ringling College in 2020, along with her team of alumni and current students, put together an incredible pitch presentation on ZOOM to a number of Ringling College supporters, and by the end of the hour, had raised every dollar needed to complete production of Code Red

The film’s storyline is a humorous coming of age story about Karman, a 6th-grader who gets her period for the first time in school, and her quest for menstrual products. Code Red seeks to break taboos around the topic of menstruation, and raise awareness for how period poverty negatively impacts women and families throughout the world. 

“Period poverty involves lack of access to feminine products in underprivileged areas of the country and world,” Poon explains. “There are many public schools where young women do not have access to pads, tampons and other educational resources that inform and empower them about their own bodies. I wanted to create something that highlights these issues.”

The film premiered at Ringling College of Art and Design, at a private screening for supporters, Film Circle members, and fans, on January 18, 2022.

Spaces

The Alfred R. Goldstein Library features a wide variety of quiet, group study, and work process spaces. Looking for a quiet study area? Make your way up to the 3rd floor to look for a book in the Research Collection or peruse the new art magazines while relaxing in comfortable seating. When the weather is nice, you can take your coffee from Roberta’s Café on the first floor to one of the four terraces to work outside and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Looking for meeting space to get together with a group? Check out the group study rooms, which are available on all three floors of the Goldstein Library. The 10 group study rooms are available to students on a first-come first served basis, or available for booking by Ringling College faculty and staff for group and class meetings.
