The Sparkling of Stardust

A moving coming-of-age romance

Mel is fed up of her monotonous day-to-day life and her boyfriend Max, who only seems to be interested in football and parties. So, on a whim, she applies for the casting show ‘Misfit Models’. Mel is delighted when she’s chosen for the show – but she soon discovers the dark side of showbiz. Nothing goes the way she’d hoped. So it’s a good thing trainee cameraman Luke is on hand to lend a listening ear. Luke is funny and quick-witted, and she finds herself falling for him faster than she would have liked. But what about Max? Ultimately, she has to decide: is she ready to face her biggest fears to make her modelling dream come true?
