If you’re a regular reader of Critical Popcorn, then you’ll know we love an indie project and ones that span both original ideas and different perspectives. Today we wanted to highlight the intriguing Starfish, written, directed and composed by A.T.

Here’s a little background and watch the super trailer just below.

Trapped in the apartment of her recently deceased best friend, the only clue she has is a single cassette left behind after her friend’s death, labelled: “THIS MIXTAPE WILL SAVE THE WORLD.” Thrust into a mystery orchestrated by her friend and stricken with grief, Aubrey begins to piece the clues together, uncovering a series of tapes all with pieces of the mystery signal…

We love this one already:
