'Land in the Stars' is a coming of age story, following a vibrant group of Uni students tackling feelings of life and loss, grief and joy and most importantly human connection in its rawest, purest forms.
★ MOVIE POSTER ★
Life is filled with so much uncertainty so if we move through it without moments to pause and take stock of who and what we hold dearest we run the risk of taking all those little, important moments for granted: past, present and future.
Kendrick's life at University was not something he could have ever predicted. He is fundamentally changed through the people he met on the way for better and for worse as he navigates the mysterious city that is Brighton.
★ Abimbola Ikengboju He/Him as 'Kendrick' ★
"This is my first time acting on screen, traditionally I'm a theatre actor and study at Lamda on a 2 year MFA. I met Grace our director on a night out in London and we bonded over our goals and ambitions. Then 6 months later out of the blue I got a message from them offering me the role. I've never worked on something like this but I'm so keen to do 'Kendrick' justice and bring to life this vision"
★ Aruzo Amini She/Her as 'Lena' ★
"Shoot for the moon, land in the stars". The more in-depth soul softening words for 'its okay to not always be okay or not always getting to the destination you planned in the time you wanted.
I'm a professional dancer, owner of 'The Secret Vault Dance Company' and an actress. This film is a raw and honest exploration of the impact loss has on one, ultimately, the journey of mourning can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself and the importance of mental health and closure. My aim as the actress and dancer is to embody the words 'at Peace but forever looking over you."
★ Max Preston They/Them as Ryley ★
Max was truly more then just a fantastic actor when bring to life 'Land in the stars', they didn't hesitate to get stuck in. Max step in as a sound recordist last minute, saving the shoot day (on more then one occasion. Max's attitude consistently lifted mural and his playful exploration of Ryley embodied a personal expression of transformation and discovery through embracing costume and making Ryley a real feeling person, as a director watching Them riff back and forth was such a joy and an honour to have them a part of the crew and cast.
★ Zia Marsh She/They as 'Belle' ★
Zia saved the day with a last minute casting in her role but that didn't stop her. She was a joy on set, singing every chance she got, she brought a earthiness through her depiction of Belle, her seamless integration into the cast made the group of friends feel real. Much like max, embracing costume to portray time transitions making the most of ever second on screen
