Quick Facts Angels in Stardust, Directed by ...

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]

Plot

Vallie Sue Russell, an imaginative small-town girl, living in a dusty Texas community built on an abandoned drive-in movie lot turns to an imaginary friend, The Cowboy, for solace from her self-absorbed mother and the dangerous world around her. A mysterious Native American, Tenkill, and two local lowlifes turn Vallie Sue's world upside down, changing her life forever.
