The 14 Gayest Films at SXSW: Bears, Brothels and Boy Bands Aplenty
Geoff Marslett, the director of MARS developed an animation process specifically to give his sci-fi the appearance of a graphic novel. Even though it involves astronauts and robots on an intergalactic space race, it’s actually a romantic comedy that explores why we explore at all and how love fits in. Not only is the director a Texas native, Academy Award nominated animator Don Hertzfeld and Texas politician and country singer, Kinky Friedman both had a hand in the film’s creation.
@fredo777: No, it is becoming one of the “it” film festivals, but that says nothing because “it” does not necessarily mean box office appeal. I believe things like “mumblecore” (whatever that means) had its start at the festival??? Not sure however as any time I see hipster-eque things like this I skim through it just to be assured it’s bullshit.
