Stargazer tells the story of what happens when a naïve grad student. Grace Campbell gets the chance to revive the reputation of a forgotten female astronomer, Cecilia Payne. Cecilia discovered the nature of the universe, but saw her genius stolen by men.
For Grace, history threatens to repeat itself when she’s forced to partner up with Spike Randall, an aggressive journalist. Who just booked Grace an appearance on a new TV talk show with Annette Gordon-Reed. The very next day—but at what cost? A dancer named Diana eavesdrops through the library shelves. Where she’s working on a story of her own, a mythic ballet about sex and power in ancient Greece.

Diana leads Grace on a long night’s journey under the influence. As Grace flashes back to Cecilia at Harvard in the 1920s and both women are transported by fantasies. Grace will have to choose: Should she partner with a man she’s not sure she trusts. Or kick Spike to the curb, go it alone, and stand up for Cecilia and herself?
Written by Rob Ackerman and Kate Ginna. Stargazer is directed by Alan McIntyre. It is produced by Justus McLarty, Matt Bogart, and Rob Ackerman. Stargazer features an ensemble cast of Kate Ginna (“Grace Campbell”), and Matt Bogart (“Spike Randall”). Also Lei Nico (“Diana de la Palma”), and Annette Gordon-Reed as herself.
Bogart is one of Broadway’s leading men. He just completed filming a made-for-TV version of the hit show, Jersey Boys. Bogart plays one of the four leads, opposite Nick Jonas. Stargazer was an Official Selection at 10 film festivals. Including Soho International, Big Apple, and Philadelphia FirstGlance. It won Best Feature twice, among other awards, including two wins for Kate Ginna as Best Actress in a Feature.
“As a historian, I work to uncover the truth and correct the record. ‘Stargazer’ is a fantastical romp that tells the story of a forgotten genius named Cecilia Payne. It’s high time we hear it,” says Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and MacArthur Fellowship recipient.
Co-writer and lead actor Kate Ginna adds. “This movie is a cinematic tribute to Cecilia Payne. Whose dedication to scientific truth inspired us to tell her story. We’re absolutely thrilling to know that audiences are going to share it.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire STARGAZER with Stacey Parks of Media Sparks Entertainment.
