Set in Los Angeles, California in the 1960’s, MAP OF THE STARS is a short film which follows Stella, who dreams of Hollywood stardom. She spends mornings visiting celebrity homes found in her souvenir Map of the Stars guidebook before heading to work as a secretary. One day, she secretly writes to the fabled director Cecil B. DeMille. She then goes down a rabbit hole where her aspirations of becoming an actress are finally realized. Or are they?
