Comedian Will Mars Releases Animated Film – Watch Below
Comedian Will Mars has released a short animated film entitled Now & Then. You can watch it below.
In the autobiographical film a working class man takes you on a tour of his troubled life while preparing for the birth of his middle class daughter.
Performing between New York and London for the past few years, this English Comedian of The Year Award Nominee and Malcolm Hardee Award Winner, has earned notoriety from his peers and audiences alike. He made his US TV debut on FOX’s Showtime at The Apollo and soon followed that up with a finalist winning run on Season 8 of NBC Comcast’s knockout television show, Trial By Laughter.
In 2022, Will turned his attention towards creating his debut short film, an autobiographical comedy animation called, Now & Then.
Mars says: "This short film is based on my 2022 live stand-up comedy show entitled ‘Will Mars: My Life in One-Liners’. The aim of the film was to use light, one-liner style comedy with a fast pace to palatably highlight a darker autobiographical narrative. In June 2022 the film was distributed to a small selection of worldwide film festivals achieving official selection status at some and earning a BEST ANIMATED FILM nomination at Houston Comedy Film Festival in the U.S. The film was just released to the public via YouTube today (13/MAR/23)."
The original live show debuted at the Gilded Balloon as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2022 and was nominated as BEST SHOW in the AMUSED MOOSE COMEDY AWARDS. It also garnered 4-STAR REVIEWS from The Scotsman, The Metro, Beyond The Joke, Entertainment Now and The Student Newspaper.
The voice cast of the film includes actors and comedians including Drew Dunn (U.S.), Declan O'Connor, Davina Bentley, Jacob Lovick (from sketch group LoveHard), Davina Bentley, Adele Cliff and Will Mars as himself.
