We always love to keep a look out for upcoming indie projects, so we had to share this trailer with you for STARLET. The film is directed by Sean Baker, who has also co-written the script with Chris Bergoch. STARLET explores an unusual friendship between 21-year-old Jane (Dree Hemingway), and 85-year-old Sadie (Besedka Johnson) whose worlds collide in California’s San Fernando Valley.
Take a look at the trailer and then scroll down for the official poster and synopsis, trust me, watch it here:
Jane spends her time getting high with her dysfunctional roommates, Melissa and Mikey, while taking care of her Chihuahua, Starlet. Sadie, an elderly widow, passes her days alone, tending to her flower garden. After a confrontation between the two women at Sadie’s yard sale, Jane uncovers a hidden stash of money inside a relic from Sadie’s past. Jane attempts to befriend the caustic older woman in an effort to solve her dilemma and secrets emerge as their relationship grows.
Starlet is Sean Baker’s follow-up to the acclaimed Prince of Broadway, winner of the Best Narrative Feature at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
