Geoff has directed twenty short films and segments of longer projects. His critically acclaimed short film Monkey vs. Robot screened at over 25 festivals worldwide, was distributed theatrically and broadcast on HBO, PBS, and Univision. MARS, Geoff’s first full-length feature film, premiered at the 2010 South by Southwest Film Festival and screened around the country winning awards in Dallas, Chicago, Memphis, and San Francisco. Geoff was recently named one of the “25 New Faces of Independent Film” by Filmmaker Magazine and received the Board of Regents Outstanding Undergraduate Instructor Award for his teaching at the University of Texas at Austin. Geoff is currently working out worldwide distribution for MARS.

A new space race is born between NASA and the ESA when Charlie Brownsville, Hank Morrison, and Dr. Casey Cook compete against an artificially intelligent robot to find out what's up there on the red planet. MARS follows these three astronauts on the first manned mission to our galactic neighbor. On the way they experience life threatening accidents, self doubts, obnoxious reporters, and the boredom of extended space travel.

This romantic comedy is told in the playful style of a graphic novel- using a unique animation process that director Geoff Marslett developed specifically for the film. Underneath the silliness Mars is also an exploration 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?
