“Reminiscent of O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi, Dogstar’s tragic love story features the archetypal protagonist, Dogstar, a reclusive artist and star obsessed astronomer.”
We’re grading on the curve here, for this entry in Laemmle’s indie series was made on not so much as a shoestring, but more of a frayed thread: $10,000. Still, first-time writer-director Sophie Pegrum has done remarkably well, getting far more than her money’s worth in style and skill onto the screen, abetted by Jaime Reynoso’s photography, amazing for the price.
