Plot

Darren and Connor are two star-crossed lovers bound together by blood. Set in a suburban neighbourhood, Starcrossed is an atmospheric story of two brothers who's relationship develops into something more than society could ever handle. Unable to deny their feelings for each other the two brothers try to hide their relationship from an unkind world but fail. The boys decide that a world that can't understand them is a world that's not worth living in. The movie closes with their suicide, handcuffing themselves to each other on the bottom rung of a ladder in a swimming pool. The two boys drown whilst in each others embrace.

Starcrossed has gathered a large online cult following that spans continents and has been translated by fans to mutiple languages. Many rumours of a feature version have been mentioned throughout the web but as of now nothing official has been announced.
