Quantum Cowboys tells the story of two hapless drifters in search of an elusive musician. The film utilizes a mix of live action and multiple styles of animation as the characters traverse the American west, as well as space and time.
Its cast includes Golden Globe winner Lily Gladstone, Kiowa Gordon, David Arquette, and Gary Farmer. It was co-written and directed by our guest, Geoff Marslett.
This isn’t Geoff’s first rodeo with ATMI. He moderated the Q&A for our youth film screening After School Special, at the 2022 Anchorage International Film Festival, where he was also screening Quantum Cowboys.
ATMI producer Kendrick Whiteman spoke with Geoff over Zoom, to talk about Quantum Cowboys, the difficulties in distributing an independent film in today’s market, and his love for coming up to Alaska for the Anchorage International Film Festival.
And don’t worry. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, they don’t get into spoilers.
