Angels in Stardust is an American coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by William Robert Carey and starring Alicia Silverstone, AJ Michalka, and Billy Burke. The film is Carey's directorial debut, and is based on the novel Jesus in Cowboy Boots, which Carey also wrote.[1] It was released in theaters and on video on demand on February 21, 2014. The film was re-released in 2016 under its original title, "Jesus In Cowboy Boots." The "Angels In Stardust" title, invented by the first distributor, was designed to put the film at the beginning of the alphabetical pay-per-view lists. Unfortunately, the title was antithetical to the film's story and themes.[2] The writer/director wrote a memoir, "How NOT To Make A Movie: An Independent Filmmaker In Hollywood Hell," about the trials and tribulations of making the film.
Premise[]
A coming-of-age story about an imaginative small-town girl (Michalka) living in a dusty Texas community built on an abandoned drive-in movie lot turns to an imaginary friend, The Cowboy (Burke), for solace from her self-absorbed mother (Silverstone) and the dangerous world around her.[3] A mysterious Native American, Tenkill (Spears), and two local lowlifes turn her world upside down, changing her life forever.
