SXSW Presents: MARS
Looking for Life and Love on:
MARS
Monday 3/7-Wednesday 3/9 @Ritz
Advance tickets available here
Austinite and University of Texas film professor Geoff Marslett's new feature, MARS, is a marvel of technological innovation and free-spirited filmmaking. Marslett, who in 2009 was named one of the "25 New Faces of Independent Film" by Filmmaker Magazine, wrote software and invented a new style of animation for MARS. The result is a whimsical blend of live action and animation imagery.
The new film, which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival 2010 and has since been playing at dozens of fests around the world, is a pensive adventure film set on Mars. Mark Duplass (Star of TV's THE LEAGUE and Writer/Director of CYRUS, THE PUFFY CHAIR, and BAGHEAD) stars alongside newcomer Zoe Simpson in a love story that blooms during an interstellar adventure. Along the way they question the very nature of exploration: Why do we want to know what is out there? How do we react to what we find? Is it really that important? And where does love fit into the whole thing?
