I am so honored for STARBORN to premiere online on DUST! As my third film on the platform, I absolutely love the community and the engagement that happens around the films. Happy to answer any questions you might have. A big thank you to the crew and cast for putting their heart and souls into this labor of love, as well as kept me going at 9 months pregnant! (You might spy that baby's cameo!). I hope that this film is an opening for some great dialogue surrounding reproductive rights and the future of humanity.

@alaa0mabrouk Месяц назад

A good movie, but I think the movie reflects the extent of human selfishness and self-love over the common good. This is because the only reason the heroine of the film goes into space is that it brings more profits to the company, meaning (corporate greed). The other reason is that the heroine of the film prefers her personal success over her child or husband, and this is (selfishness). The film reflects the selfishness of the heroine of the film and the greed of the company in exchange for love and family. I would like to apologize for the linguistic errors, as I am Egyptian and my language is Arabic

The mother at the end is shown with a head covering, which in today's time, can be indicative of women observing certain religious traditions. I'm wondering if that choice of costume was intentional, as if to suggest that on a frontier world, as opposed to the developed home world, some "regression" to more conservative values would be useful or necessary to build up a new society.

@alanmcrae8594 4 дня назад

Nicely done! Brought up some sensitive, instinctual issues that some women will have to navigate if they want to have experiences beyond traditional motherhood. There are 8 billion humans on Earth. One more or less is not that significant. At the end of the day, it's about what we want to do with our current human life. There are always trade offs & sacrifices. For some it will be "meh... not all that exciting". Let's, instead, go on grand adventure into the vastness of the cosmos. It's all fatal, no matter which you choose...

@johnnydavidauthor 14 дней назад

Thought provoking! To me, It's a story of destiny. Sometimes, it's possible to do the wrong thing for the right reasons, and the right thing for the wrong reasons. She felt a call to further mankind's consciousness, and she answered it. Regardless of the emotional situation and, in this case, the profits of a company, she knew if she didn't do it, she would always look back and regret it. Inspiring, terrifying, we've all been there in some incarnation or another. This is a masterful short-story of destiny's call - I know it means other things too, but that's what it means to me. Thank you for the film 🎥 ❤

@zoltanposfai3451 Месяц назад

@@fabled-pilgrim Where is any correlation between a plaque and the population? Are the future Moon citizens the descendants of Neil Armstrong? The people on the American continent descendants of Amerigo Vescpucci? The Colombian people the descendants of Columbus? Former citizens of Leningrad and Stalingrad children of Lenin and Stalin? A plaque doesn't even indicate that she made it. It indicates that people who decided to name a colony found it important to have her name associated with it. Could have been respect. Could have been a political tool. For all we know, she died on her way there, and the subsequent successful missions wanted to pay respect for her attempt. Like there are schools named after Sharon Christa McAuliffe who died in the Challenger accident.

Well, she was not the first on that front... And before we get there, we want to go one small step at a time. You don't want to risk the life of your kid for an experiment. Right now, we don't even know the effects of low gravity like the Moon or Mars. So, we will have colonies there before a planned pregnancy or childbirth.

At the end of the day it was her choice to terminate her pregnancy. It wasn't an easy decision but through her sacrifice she was able to further humanity's progress and allow others the opportunity that she gave up.

@danaaalto7493 Месяц назад

I liked the corporate angle on this - it's all about stock price packaged as some great quest for mankind. In a way this is realistic since that's exactly what's going on with AI. A technology no one has asked for, peddled as a 'solution" to whatever (probably better war making machines) but ultimately a pure wealth generating device. This story about a lone female sent to space, a female heartless CEO and a poor guy who has no say in anything is a bit too PC for my taste.

It certainly didn’t look like they were doing all that well just … meh. It was predictable and boring.
