\u2018Biosphere\u2019s Mark Duplass, Mel Eslyn, Sterling K. Brown & Zackary Drucker On Exploring \u201cMasculinity\u201d In A Buddy Comedy \u2013 Toronto Studio: <\/h1>\n

Biosphere originated from an idea Mark Duplass had while at a writing retreat with his co-writer Mel Eslyn. \u201cI had this vision of these two men living in this sort of weird biosphere and that they were arguing about Super Mario Brothers,\u201d says Duplass.<\/p>\n

\u201cMark is somebody who\u2019s constantly vomiting ideas at me 24\/7,\u201d says Eslyn, \u201cand they\u2019re always half formed, but the best half formed ideas ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Directed by Mel Eslyn, Biosphere takes place in the near future where the last two men on earth, played by Duplass and Sterling K. Brown, must deal with the death of the last fish in their self-sustaining pond.<\/p>\n

With the familiar \u201cbuddy comedy\u201d trope, producer Zackary Drucker says it allowed them to examine how masculinity is perceived when only two men are left on Earth. \u201cI think that masculinity is always perceived as this neutral position,\u201d says Drucker, \u201cand yet toxic masculinity is undone the structures of our society and our democracy, and for us to unpack that and interrogate it, in a buddy film which is such a familiar trope, and this buddy film goes where no buddy film has gone before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we start with familiar territory, we can take people to a whole new place,\u201d says Eslyn.<\/p>\n

While Duplass, Eslyn, and Drucker had been working on Biosphere together for some time, Brown was the last to join but he was thrilled with the welcoming atmosphere. \u201cJumping into something that these guys have been working on for years,\u201d says Brown, \u201cthey made me feel welcome and appreciated and valued from the very beginning of my time with them and it felt very much like home, like the kind of collaborative people you want to work with \u2013 kind people who want to tell an important message about fish.\u201d<\/p>\n
