Starlet had its premiere at AFI Fest this week and is set for a limited theatrical release beginning this weekend. Movieline picked up an exclusive clip from the film, which stars model-turned-actress Dree Hemingway , Besedka Johnson, Stella Maeve ( The Runaways ) and James Ransone ( Red Hook Summer ). In the clip, Ransone’s character Mikey leads roommates Jane (Hemingway) and Melissa (Maeve) down a staircase for a big surprise. They’re not quite dressed for a party, though their panties set aglow with the strip-club interior Mikey unveils. They don’t look terribly impressed, but Mikey has plans to cash in on the new interior. Starlet centers on an unlikely friendship between 21 year-old Jane and Sadie after Jane discovers a hidden stash of money inside an object at Sadie’s yard sale. Starlet , co-scripted with Chris Bergoch by writer-director Sean Baker ( Prince of Broadway ), screens at AFI Fest again tonight and opens in limited release on Friday.
