Angels in Stardust is a 2014 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by William Robert Carey and starring Alicia Silverstone, AJ Michalka and Billy Burke.[1] The film is Carey's directorial debut, and is based on his own novel Jesus in Cowboy Boots, released in 2013.[2]
It was released in theaters and on video on demand on February 21, 2014. The film was re-released in 2016 under its original title, Jesus in Cowboy Boots. The "Angels in Stardust" title, invented by the first distributor, was designed to put the film at the beginning of the alphabetical pay-per-view lists.[3] Unfortunately, the title was antithetical to the film's story and themes. In 2021, Carey wrote a memoir, How Not to Make a Movie: An Independent Filmmaker in Hollywood Hell, about his trials and tribulations of making the film.[4]
