MARS

MARS - The Movie [HD Trailer] from Geoff Marslett on Vimeo.

Mars is an upcoming, indie sci-fi picture created with the same sort of rotoscope animation used for A Scanner Darkly. I don't know much about the film, but it has an interesting look and the technique clearly allows them to create the kind of special effects that would normally be impossible on an indie budget.

The biggest name in the cast is probably musician, comics artist and self-proclaimed superstar James Kolchalka. In addition to acting in the film, the titles are lettered with his charactertist font.

The film premieres at SXSW in March.
