Could a mixtape save the world? In the new cosmic horror drama Starfish, the answer might just be yes. The new film from Yellow Veil Pictures and The Orchard stars Halloween standout Virginia Gardner as Aubrey, a young woman struggling with the death of her best friend when she wakes up in a world where she's seemingly the only survivor. With only one clue -- a cassette tape labeled "THIS MIXTAPE WILL SAVE THE WORLD" -- Aubrey has to make her way through the cosmic horrors of the apocalypse.

When a mysterious signal from an unknown dimension summons the end of days, its appears as if only Aubrey (Virginia Gardner) is left on earth. Trapped in the apartment of her recently deceased best friend, the only clue she has is a single cassette left behind after her friends death, labeled: "THIS MIXTAPE WILL SAVE THE WORLD."
Thrust into a mystery orchestrated by her friend and stricken with grief, Aubrey begins to piece the clues together, uncovering a series of tapes all with pieces of the mystery signal. Along the way, progress is impeded when monstrous creatures begin to overrun the world and enclose in on her. Aubrey is forced to fight off the encroaching creatures and move beyond her own crippling grief in order to find the remaining tapes. But will completing the signal save the world?
