<div>Star Thieves is a multicultural, sci-fi, action drama about a man who is addicted to a substance that causes global genocide.


</div>


<div>Hi, my name is Dennis Hill! When I was seven years old, I was paired with a mentor through Big Brother and Big Sisters of Central Maryland and United Way. I was going through some tough times as a young boy in Baltimore, and the guidance I received (and still receive to this day) helped save my life. It led me to art, and eventually, I learned how to turn my pain into something I love – filmmaking.


</div>


<div><strong>Star Thieves is the result.</strong> I spent three years developing a deeply personal piece – a mix between HBO’s THE WIRE and BLACK PANTHER – that explores addiction, empathy, and healing. I wrote a 112-page screenplay, directed, produced, financed, and starred in the first 40 minutes of that feature film. And through this journey, I’ve come to understand something powerful: we’re all addicted to something, and sometimes our choices affect others in ways we don’t realize. This story is about seeing that truth…and beginning to heal.


</div>


<div>The sci-fi and action keep it entertaining, but the heart of this project is real. It changed my life.


</div>


<div>Now, <strong>I’m raising finishing funds to complete the movie</strong> – and instead of waiting months or years to see what you’re supporting, you’ll get the first 40 minutes as soon as you donate!
