Holly Jones Physics-captivated scholar turned filmmaker Geoff Marslett (“Mars”) will head to the Annecy Film Festival to premiere animated feature “Quantum Cowboys,” the first instalment of what’s set to be a trilogy. The film’s ensemble cast includes Lily Gladstone, who stars in the upcoming Martin Scorsese film “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and David Arquette.A technical and curious sojourn The scenes that advance the plot through saloons, prairies and solemn deserts were crafted by artists from Swerve Pictures, Minnow Mountain, Artless Media and Mystery Meat Media.“The animators who actually do this work, those are people that spent two straight years working with me on this film.
Drawing every one of these frames, they gave me their own personal art styles. We didn’t go for a homogenized look in the animation.
Each of them had a thing they did and they were cast much like actors,” Marslett says.Written by Marslett and Howe Gelb, the film fuses quantum physics and Americana with a heady journey, while toying with our understanding of reality.“Reality isn’t just something hard-fixed that exists; reality is something different for each individual. Every animal, every person, goes through life having to interpret it themselves and they have their own memories.
Each of those sets of memories creates its own reality. That is, for that individual, the true reality.
None of us can really experience someone else’s true reality, but we try to communicate that with each other,” Marslett says.Produced by Fit Via Vi Film (“Cryptozoo”), which is also handling sales, and Swerve Pictures, the film stays true to Marslett’s appreciation of place, centering on Arizona, with each involved animation technique.
