You Don't Know Sh*t About the Stars

A short film adaptation of the bestselling book of the same name.

Marky's routine trips to school change when a girl gets on the bus. Will he muster up the courage to talk to her? But what if he unwittingly starts a countdown? An honest teenager with a unique sense of humor talks to a girl he doesn't know on the bus. Valerie is funny and confident, but beneath her glossy Instagram profile lies a girl who is still searching for herself. Together, they discover that high school is not like it is in TV shows or books — that hot guys aren't always nice, good guys can be toxic, grand gestures aren't always romantic, and intimate experiences aren't always magical. Life finally makes sense. Until it stops making sense. Marky's ideas are slowly crumbling, but he can't help but notice that something much worse is happening to Val. That evening is approaching. And time is running out.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with the author, and there will also be an opportunity to purchase the novel on which the film is based.
