Lucky Stars (2026)
Written, Directed, Edited and Produced by Hooroo Jackson
Budget: $1,000
Logline
A runaway princess and a moon-born pilot cross a distant world, in Hooroo Jackson’s fully AI-generated space opera romance with ten different endings.
Synopsis
Princess Mora escapes the rigid life of the crown by stowing away on a starcruiser piloted by Darin O’Joy, a charming rebel with secrets of his own. As they race across moonlit worlds and evade a relentless bounty hunter, Mora must decide: can she trust Darin with the truth of who she is—and with her heart?
The Ten Endings
Lucky Stars is the first film in history presented with ten complete, distinct endings, a full slate of resolutions rather than variations on a line of dialogue. Comic, tragic, cosmic, musical. Viewers can choose one, or watch all ten back to back. The structure follows Jackson’s Living, Breathing Cinema, first laid out in The New Machine Cinema (2024): a film is not a fixed object but a set of possibilities.

Cast of Characters
Princess Mora — the second-guessing heir, formal, funny, and out of her depth
Darin O’Joy — brave in action, cowardly in emotion; the moon’s best pilot
JCee (JC-123) — a royal android with broken threat-assessment and unbreakable loyalty. She raps. She is proud of this.
Princess Pola — Mora’s sister; devastating understatement, sincere heart, missing turtle
Prince Fidge — a beautiful, hollow man who agrees with whoever is in front of him
Monte — bandit, and the most honest person on the moon
Gota — says little; when she speaks, it lands
Lady Scarlet — the architecture of the conspiracy, smiling
Garth Brooks — the bounty hunter. No speeches.
Old Zain — remembers what the domes forgot
Seltzer — pirate king, tea drinker
The Three — Michel, Clara and Barb, three A.I. friends in a pair of goggles
