Intrepid net surfer Claudia Kehl discovered this film workshop site with some interesting links about the screenwriter and the filming of "Book of the Stars," the Mary Stuart Masterson independent film that was due to be released in November. Remember that we warned you that these independent films sometimes get limited release, so pay close attention to the movie listings in your local newspapers.
