New Sci-Fi Series "Star Thieves" Set to Break the Color Barrier

    LOS ANGELES, CA, May 16, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A young priest living on planet earth is pulled into a conspiracy a thousand years in the making when he discovers he is a member of a nomadic tribe of aliens, Star Thieves. His loyalties are tested as he desperately seeks an alternative to the inevitable destruction of one side or the other. "Star Thieves is filling a void in a genre that ultimately celebrates diversity. SciFi encompasses all that is different and alien yet it is rare to see people of color cast in lead roles," series co-creator and director Leslie Foster states. A multicultural cast stars in the original series currently in pre-production and fundraising on KickStarter.

About Star Thieves: Ground breaking casting and a truly unique storyline make Star Thieves shine. The Star Thieves are some of the most feared beings in the known universe due to the power they gain through ingesting the dust of stars they have destroyed. Earth's sun is next on their list. "Not only was this Sci-Fi/Supernatural idea created by people of color, but all of the leads will be played by people of color as well. We have African American, Latino, Korean, Filipino, and (South Asian) Indian American leads in the series. The story has universal appeal." series co-creator and Executive Producer Dennis Hill explains. Star Thieves is a Dark Matter 86 production. The series is created by Leslie Foster, Theo Brown and Dennis Hill. The cast includes Dennis Hill, Danette Wilson, Junesoo Ham, Aris Juson, Tiffany Daniels, Roshan Maloney, David Lago and Steve Maurice. More information is available at www.starthievesseries.com.
