WRITER’S STATEMENT
Lost Beneath the Stars is a journey of two lost actresses struggling to find a way home and find some confirmation that they've chosen the right careers. Following them we laugh, we cry, and we relate to this very human question that we all ask ourselves: am I adequate? Making Lost Beneath the Stars was itself a journey through script drafts and rehearsals, to long days of shooting in the desert elements, and through the critical decisions made in editing and post production. What you'll see while watching is the efforts of an entire cast and crew, trying just like the film's main characters, to find a home for our little film. We hope you enjoy the show.
