The Daily PO.P. reviews "The Starmind Record"

Media Blogger Jameson Lee of The Daily P.O.P. has just posted the first review of "The Starmind Record":

"Two aspiring filmmakers stumble upon a random event while driving along the road late one night. They find a man wandering around in a daze. When one of them touches the stranger, she is overcome with images and thought that she cannot explain and starts drawing seemingly meaningless pictures and plastering them on the walls of their apartment. Deciding to take in the person in need proves to be both much more than either had anticipated as the stranger exhibits weird behavior and an ability to communicate in a most unusual way. Being filmmakers, the two Samaritans respond in the only way they know how and document everything."

"This is the Starmind Record."

Here's what Jameson Lee had to say about the craftsmanship behind Starmind:

"Actors Gerard Marzilli, Charlotte Gallagher and Matthew David McCallum are outstanding as the regulars in this multi-part serial and their performances maintain a believablility to the project. Gerard in particular is outstanding as the somewhat easy going and sensitive Eli, especially in the later parts when he becomes unhinged. Likewise Charlotte acts as a point of reference to sanity and compassion… until she clearly isn’t anymore. I was completely taken off guard at her later transformation as I had come to rely on her character as being wholesome and gentle."

"Tennyson Stead craftily composes a descent into madness that is made all the more compelling as it is so innocent at first. The bulk of the heavy lifting of course goes to Matthew David McCallum whose portrayal of the deranged and simple Dean Ballard is so very direct and honest that his transformation in the conclusion is all the more disturbing. I found myself muttering ‘I hate gin’ weeks after I had watched the program, a line that will carry some meaning for viewers."
