Yes, it’s true: STARLET premiered in the USA in competition at SXSW (where it won Best Actor) , and just recently made it’s international debut in competition at Locarno (where it won the Junior Jury Award), quickly followed by Oldenburg (Germany). And it’s been getting great reviews. Music Box is set to release in the States late fall or early winter, and we have a whole long list of places you may be able to catch Starlet first. In fact there are six more prestigious fests that are to screen it that I could not list because they have yet to announce their line-ups. But check out all the places you can see it first:

You will be able to check it out soon, and I hope you do. I had the good fortune of being able to lend a hand in getting it done, and have an Executive Producer credit as a result.
