“Bailey brings a rare combination of technical mastery and deep empathy for story,” <\/em>said director Timothy Hines<\/strong> (10 Days in a Madhouse), “My 1st A.D. is my right arm, rather, my conduit to the world on the film set. Bailey is the right choice for such a challenging, powerful, yet delicate film.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Produced by Susan Goforth<\/strong> (Tomorrow’s Today<\/em>) and executive produced by Kimberly Olson<\/strong>, The Red Head<\/em> tells the true story of Jannetje Johanna “Jo” Schaft<\/strong>, better known as Hannie Schaft<\/strong>, the legendary Dutch resistance fighter whose fiery red hair and fearless courage earned her the nickname “the girl with the red hair.”<\/em> Schaft risked everything to fight fascism, save lives, and inspire generations, making her one of WWII’s most celebrated resistance heroes.<\/p>\n

Joining Wall on the production are standout talents including cinematographer Yah’leanah Wall<\/strong>, producer Andy Hundis<\/strong> (The Wilde Girls<\/em>), and property master Jeni Manus<\/strong>, forming a visionary team dedicated to delivering a historically authentic and emotionally gripping cinematic experience.<\/p>\n

Set in Nazi-occupied Netherlands in 1943, The Red Head<\/em> is more than a historical war drama — it is a timeless story of resistance, courage, and defiance<\/strong>.

“This is not just entertainment, but a vision with purpose,” said producer Susan Goforth<\/strong>. “And we are honored to have Bailey Wall’s creative voice as part of this journey, helping us bring Hannie Schaft’s remarkable story to audiences worldwide.”<\/p>\n
