How far would you go to be unforgettable?
Most people say "as far as it takes," but they don't know what that actually means. They haven't met Simon Dirk.
A thread on the terrifying reality of what it takes to make a star.

"If becoming a star means joining a cult, then STARMAKER is the gateway." 🎬
Some early reviews are in, and STARMAKER is making waves!
⭐ @FilmThreat (7/10): "Grabs your attention with its lush black-and-white cinematography... A touch of Hitchcock."
⭐ @UKFilmReview (3/5): "By tapping into enduring themes of human inferiority, generational trauma, and the predatory nature of success, STARMAKER has a wide appeal, and the tension increases proportionately"
⭐ @Film_Carnage (3/5): "An intimate, tense and claustrophobic thriller.”

Three days before the biggest audition of her life, a young actress disappeared.
She wasn't kidnapped.
She wasn't dead.
She simply stopped answering calls, stopped showing up, and vanished.
What happened next ruined every assumption she had about fame.
1/🧵
And that's the terrifying thing about ambition.
Nobody notices the change while it's happening.
Only after it's complete.
The question was never whether she'd become a star.
The question was what would be left of her when she got there.
8/🧵
That question became STARMAKER.
A psychological thriller about ambition, manipulation, performance, and the cost of becoming unforgettable.
