Uncross The Stars

Uncross the Stars (2008)

Well, this has been a long time coming.

In 2007, I set out to direct a lovely film called "Vacuuming the Cat" (later released as "Uncross the Stars") with producer Stephen L'Heureux, who braved the hot desert, low budget and so many other issues to overcome with me.

Written by my friend Ted Henning, with an extraordinary cast of Daniel Gillies, Academy Award nominee Barbara Hershey, the incomparable Ron Perlman, Irma Hall, Pat Crawford Brown, Linda Porter, Takayo Fisher, Jane Shayne, and great crew like cinematographer Bry Thomas Sanders Soc, production designer Marcel Victor Prefontaine, art director Ethereal Hope Latimer, editor Philip Miller, Dustin Chittum, Andrew Gallagher, costumer designer Lindsey Reisack, PC MacEwen Patterson, Tony Estrada, composer Randy Miller, 1st A.D. the late Connie Hoy for whom I wish I had this news earlier, and so many other wonderful and talented people that I can't list them all here.

We spent 3 months in Apache Junction AZ (thank you also to the incredible support of the local officials, businesses and others who helped our endeavor), under the shadow of Superstition Mountain, a gorgeous area of desert.

During the production, my Executive Producer and friend Lawrence Gabriel passed away. We had air conditioners break down, truck keys get lost, equipment stolen, locations fall through, dust in the camera, heat exhaustion and so many other challenges that made the completion of the film that much more satisfying.

Then, not long after securing a U.S. distribution deal for TV and DVD, the DVD market disappeared and our distribution partner went out of business, leading to a "this film is not available" listing on Amazon and a decade long fight to terminate a contract with a defunct company and get the distribution rights back, then look for a new distributor for this touching, moving movie that won a Dove Family Seal of Approval.

I am, today, very happy to say that "Uncross the Stars" is again available for viewing.
