(I fall into the former category I think it works really well in context.) For him, that was another way to convey Aubrey's (and White's) sense of grief. White admits viewers typically love or hate that sequence. One of the more striking scenes is an animation sequence, depicting a cartoon version of Aubrey sinking into the sea. "I was in a slightly better place, and I could see the journey the character should be going on," he said. But White revisited the script a couple of years later. It was just to help me deal with the stuff I was going through." He admits that first draft was so depressing, any resulting film would have been pretty much unwatchable, with Aubrey staying in her dead friend's apartment the entire time and never venturing outside. "I kind of locked myself away in a snowy cabin in Colorado for a couple of weeks and wrote a script," he said. The script grew out of White's own personal loss-his best friend died of cancer at the same time White was going through a divorce. Grace knew something about this because she left a mixtape for Aubrey with the message "THIS MIXTAPE WILL SAVE THE WORLD." Aubrey embarks on a scavenger hunt for six other mixtapes Grace made for her to solve the mystery and, yes, perhaps even save the world. A strange signal from another dimension seems to be the culprit, opening a doorway between worlds. After spending the night in her friend's apartment, Aubrey wakes up the next morning to find that everyone else has mysteriously vanished and that strange, ravenous monsters are roaming the streets. Can she work through her grief to piece together the elements of a mysterious signal that may be the key to averting the apocalypse?ĭescribed in promotional materials as a "cosmic horror thriller," Starfish tells the story of a young woman named Aubrey Parker (Virginia Gardner, The Runaways) who has just lost her best friend, Grace. A grieving young woman finds herself grappling with monsters from another dimension on what may well be the end of the world in Starfish, an atmospheric new film from UK director A.T.
