Airdate: Seeing Scarlett

Community TV stations Channel 31 Melbourne and Channel 44 Adelaide will screen a locally-made drama, Seeing Scarlett.

Described as a “metaphysical teen drama” the 4x11min series centres around 16 year old Scarlett, who has healing and psychic abilities and delves into her family history.

The project is written, directed and produced by Rachel Soderstrom who has an Advanced Diploma in Screenwriting and is finishing a Bachelor of Film and Television at Deakin.

‘Seeing Scarlett’ is a metaphysical teen drama about Scarlett, a 16-year-old girl, who discovers she has healing and psychic abilities. Scarlett’s mother, Hazel, has been missing for 11 years and on her 16th birthday Scarlett receives a mysterious box full of journals, crystals and more, that her mum left for her to receive on that day. Scarlett’s world is turned upside down as she explores the first journal and begins to experience things that reveal there is more to the world than she ever thought possible.

Scarlett’s dad, Rick, finds out that she has been given the box by her mother’s old mentor, Lisa, and he confiscates it, not wanting Scarlett to learn about the abilities Hazel possessed.

Scarlett’s younger sister, Jade, is curious about the phenomena Scarlett experiences.

Amy and Sarah are Scarlett’s best friends and have opposing ideas about the teachings in the journal but will do anything to support their friend.

Scarlett, who isn’t very sure of herself on the best of days, has a crush on Max but his girlfriend, Chelsea does her best to scare Scarlett away.

Scarlett experiences vivid dreams where her mum appears and asks for her help. Scarlett must piece together the information she receives while also coming to terms with how her world is changing.
Will she make sense of the dreams? Can she find out what really happened to her mum? Will she learn how to control her newly acquired abilities? And can she find the courage to tell Max how she really feels?
