Director: Rahmin Atarod. Nightstars is a coming of age story about fate, coincidence, and the inextricable links that connect us all. A naive teenage couple running away from their problems spends one last night visiting old friends and haunts in a town they're eager to escape though it's the only world they've ever known. Two young brothers separated by maturity and mentality struggle to bond as they look for adventure across a mysteriously deserted landscape. A lovelorn but timid college-bound young man sets out on a blind date he's invested his faith and heart into but is quickly thrown into an odyssey of strange characters and surreal situations. Three intersecting stories of discovery, chance, and relationships are explored in the languid dreaminess and trance-like isolation of familiar shopping plazas, bowling alleys, parking lots and empty streets on a quiet and seemingly ordinary summer night in a sprawling suburban town. Equal parts humane drama and subversive comedy, Nightstars is a sensitive portrait of today's youth and a reflection on the alienation of modern living and the absurdity of suburban culture.
PlayArt Productions is seeking dedicated and creative young actors with excellent improv skills eager to be a part of and independent film that will be screened at film fests next year. Actors will be fully compensated a fair rate for their role.
