Directors Vision.
From the very beginning, I knew exactly the kind of film I wanted to make—even before I touched the script. A nostalgic story full of mystery, wonder, and adventure—something I found in the films from my childhood that inspired me to become a filmmaker. Stargazers is my love letter to the sci-fi/adventure films of the early 1980s. But this isn't just about retro aesthetics or following a trend. I wanted to capture the spirit of a time when storytelling felt more grounded—before modern technology became a constant presence. I wanted to return to what made me fall in love with cinema in the first place: the thrill of adventure and the pure innocence of childhood. At its heart, Stargazers is about the bond between two best friends. Through their journey, I was able to explore themes of friendship, family, and resilience. Yes, the story includes aliens, cosmic weapons, and spaceships—but beneath all the sci-fi elements, it's really a story about friendship and never giving up. - Jonathan Brooks (Writer/Director & Producer)
