Are The Stars Alive?

2026 4mMovie

Are The Stars Alive is a 3 minute, 35mm visual poem about the importance of curiosity and personal growth. It follows a woman who begins to trust her own instincts as she tries to understand the complexities of the universe, proving the answer to many of our questions lies within us. It also pays tribute to pioneering women, like astronomer Maria Mitchell (who the film is loosely based off of), and the women who painstakingly hand colored George Melies’ masterpieces from the early days of cinema. These women painted stories in the stars, and laid the foundation for all of us, allowing our curiosity to bloom. By hand cutting and coloring our film, frame by frame, we hope that we can honor the nameless women who inspired us to become storytellers and rebels.
