CAN YOU CREATE A LIFE ON MARS?

“Thought-provoking and nuanced” – The Wrap

A small family struggles to survive in the inhospitable wilderness that is the planet Mars in the not-too-distant future. For their daughter Remmy, it is the only place she has ever known. Earth is just a bittersweet memory that her parents Reza and Ilsa sometimes talk about. One day, their daily routine is disrupted when the farm is attacked. This marks the beginning of a series of increasingly dark events that will dominate Remmy's life for a long time to come.

With brilliant photography by Willie Nel, stylish effects, and a script that is both hard-hitting and thought-provoking, Wyatt Rockefeller's directorial debut is a strong contribution to the more reality-based branch of the sci-fi genre. Before his film career, Rockefeller worked for the Obama administration as part of the Environmental Protection Agency. The cast includes Sofia Boutella (Climax), Jonny Lee Miller (bothTrainspotting films, among many others), Ismael Cruz Córdova (The Mandalorian), and the lead role of Remmy is played by Brooklynn Prince (The Turning) and Nell Tiger Free (Game of Thrones).
