    A tribute to wonder, light, and love

    I was not expecting to be so moved by this film. Finberg took us on a journey through the desert skies and it was incredible. The Arizona desert setting was outside of the usual expectation for such content. Folks often think about the New Mexico desert and it is almost as if Arizona is a character in the film as well. Lighting the night sky is extraordinarily complex and they do it well here. I also enjoyed the soundtrack a great deal. It was not heavy handed and it did not get in the way. I was surprised to see that the leading actress also sang the song in the credits. What a talent. I am eager to see it again.

    Creative, Suspenseful and Thought-Provoking

    "Star People" is a compelling blend of suspense, emotional insight, and timely themes, all woven into a story that explores the fragile nature of human relationships. Set against a stunning desert backdrop, the film is visually striking and thoughtfully paced. The cast delivers strong performances, and the narrative held my attention from beginning to end. It's a creative and thought-provoking film that lingers after the credits roll.

    The Director developed a cast that realistically portrayed their characters, doing an excellent job of pulling the audience into their stories, emotions and self discoveries.

    Loved it!!!

    Great film. Amazing acting, great character development, cool story, great production value, well directed ... all the perfect ingredients for an excellent and enjoyable movie. It's a cool drama with science fiction elements. I love how the movie ties into her childhood memories. It makes you more invested in her quest. Her lifelong pursuit of answers keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire film. This is not one of those movies where you will figure out the ending - instead the movie will keep you guessing and hoping that she will get her answers. I highly recommend this film!

    Incredible story about humanity

    Star People completely surprised me-in the best way. On the surface, it's about the Phoenix Lights, but it's really a heartfelt, deeply human story about love, loss, and the bond between siblings. I felt incredibly moved.

    The film captures Arizona beautifully-visually and emotionally. The heat of the desert was portrayed with authenticity. The cinematography is stunning, and the performances are real.

    Adam Finberg's storeytelling is thoughtful, emotional, and even funny at times. Star People is for anyone who's ever loved someone deeply, or wondered what else might be out there.

    Very enjoyable, held my attention throughout

    This was an impressive feature debut from writer-director Adam Finberg. As viewers, we experienced the journey into the main character's childhood memory of a UFO sighting. As she struggles to reconcile that mysterious childhood experience with the realities of her adult life, the film explores themes of memory, belief and emotional truth.

    It had strong character development especially in the portrayal of her troubled, drug-addicted brother as she tries to balance her need to support him with her search for her truth. The film, which had a few interesting twists along the way, held my attention from start to finish.
