Starry Eyes

Year: 2014

Director: Kevin Kölsch & Dennis Widmyer

Rotten Tomatoes: 74%

Plot: A desperate young actress working a miserable job in Hollywood lands an increasingly disturbing opportunity that promises her the stardom she wants, forcing her to sacrifice more and more of herself to get it.

Marcela Notes: Kind of sucks to watch this as a woman lol. Been a very long time but all I remember is how dark and bleak it was, and that my friend Pat Healy was in it. And it makes me happy to see Alex Essoe in big movies and shows now! 

Fun Fact: The movie started as a Kickstarter project, and Chuck Palahniuk's fans helped support it. In return, 100 Kickstarter donors had their names included in Palahniuk's 2014 novel Beautiful You. 

Another Fun Fact: Damn I love Chuck Palahniuk- I once met him at Book People and he immediately complimented my arm muscles and then we talked about trapeze and circus arts. What a fucking great, disturbed guy.
