ATLANTA — 'The Other Women', a comedy narrative short that was greenlit on Seed&Spark during the July–August 2025 GA Film Crowdfunding Rally, has wrapped production. A finalist for the 2025 FilmImpactGA grant, the project completed principal photography in North Atlanta on October 13, 2025.
Soleil Rouge Productions is now raising finishing funds through its fiscal sponsor, The Gotham Institute, a 501(c)(3) organization; donations are tax-deductible and support editing, color, sound, scoring and festival submissions.
Logline: Three suburban girlfriends confront major midlife crises in their marriages, motherhood (or lack thereof) and trysts with younger men.
The mature comedy explores the deeper reasons — beyond stereotypes — why older women date younger men, blending the suburban wit of 'Sex and the City' and 'And Just Like That' with the irreverent tone of 'Workin' Moms' and the romantic spark of 'The Idea of You'. The filmmakers aim to uplift single moms and women in midlife, moving beyond outdated “cougar” tropes to celebrate these women's agency without judgment.
Los Angeles–Atlanta-based actor Summer Rain Menkee ('The Resident', 'P-Valley') wrote the script, executive produces and leads the ensemble, with Susan G. Reid directing. The cast also includes Tammi Jones Tanaka ('BMF'), Holly A. Morris ('Stranger Things'), John Machesky ('Will Trent') and Troy Etheredge ('Ozark').
