Animated MARS Selected for Tribeca Film Festival

Posted on by

Today, the Tribeca Film Festival unveiled the full lineup for its 2024 festival, which begins June 5, and MARS, an animated feature from from The Whitest Kids U’ Know, is an official selection in the festival’s Midnight section. MARS will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday, June 6, with additional screenings on June 8 and June 15.

Directed by Sevan Najarian, MARS follows the unbelievable misadventures of Kyle, a man whose life is all laid out before him. Engaged to his fiancée, Candace, he works as a dentist, knows they’ll settle down and have children, and all of life’s decisions have been figured out for him … and that is terrifying. One night, he sees an ad for billionaire Elron Branson’s contest to travel to Mars on the maiden trip of his Mars voyager. Unsure of the road ahead, Kyle sends in a submission video and, to his surprise, wins. When the dates of the rocket launch and his wedding conflict, he decides to ditch his big day and head off to the red planet. This would all be great for him, except the luxury accommodations are merely a facade, the other space travelers are insane, and all of them get stranded on Mars with no way home.
