Astro TV

About This Movie

Astro TV is a quirky blend of comedy and drama, weaving a tale around Sigrid, a TV astrologer who's basically a soothing presence for the sleepless. The pacing is intentionally slow at times, creating that almost hypnotic vibe you'd expect from late-night TV. Jakkila’s direction feels very personal, almost voyeuristic in how it captures Sigrid's interactions—both light-hearted and heavy. The performances are grounded, particularly from the lead, who manages to balance sincerity and a bit of eccentricity. There's an interesting use of practical effects that gives it a retro feel, almost like a throwback to those late-night talk shows. It’s distinct, not just for the theme but for how it explores human connection in a world driven by astrology and uncertainty.

Director: Magdaleena Jakkila · Shot on location in a retro studio setting · Features practical effects reminiscent of 90s TV · Cinematography by Elise Hargrove, known for indie films
