Austin animator named one to watch
Filmmaker Magazine (“The Magazine of Independent Film”) puts Austin’s own Geoff Marslett on its annual “25 New Faces of Independent Film” in its summer ‘09 issue, which features Quentin Tarantino as the cover-boy.
“This year’s crop of 25 New Faces consists, as always, of new film artists whose work we feel passionately about but also, in this year of change, people who are redefining the notion of a career in film,” writes Filmmaker‘s editor Scott Macaulay.
Marslett is one of those local guys you see at movie events and parties, but he’s mostly busy working on his animated feature “Mars,” a romantic comedy featuring astronauts going to Mars. The film features live action, too, including former Austinite and “Humpday” co-star Mark Duplass. He’s also an animation instructor at UT, and some of his former students are helping out on the big film.
