M.F.A., The University of Texas at Austin, 2000.
Geoff Marslett is a native Texan who studied mathematics, philosophy, physics, and painting at St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico and then came back to Texas to continue his studies at the University of Texas at Austin. For the last three years, Geoff has worked in nearly every capacity of short film production. Looking to combine his experience in the fine arts with filmmaking, he began working with animation. His hand drawn, computer-animated work and unique presentation of seemingly inaccessible material (inspired anywhere from Kant to Schroedinger) as musical comedies keeps audiences laughing, singing and well, hopefully, thinking. Presently he is best known for the animated short film, Monkey vs. Robot. Geoff received his M.F.A. from the University of Texas in December 2000 and is presently working on a feature length animated sci-fi comedy.
In addition to his animated work, Geoff has also directed numerous live action short films, as well as working as an art director and cinematographer on narrative and documentary films which have appeared in festivals worldwide. Most recently he collaborated with six other filmmakers on the DV narrative project "Six in Austin." His portion of the feature film is entitled Out of Bounds.

The Game (1997)
Lil' Brother (1997)
