Ever since director Mike Cahill broke onto the scene in 2011 with the Sundance favorite “Another Earth,” co-written and staring the multi-talented Brit Marling, many have been eagerly anticipating his followup. Luckily, Cahill’s second feature film as writer-director, the Marling and Michael Pitt-starring “I Origins,” opens in select theaters this weekend and brings with it another bold vision of futuristic science fiction. To mark the film’s opening weekend, Marling, Pitt, Cahill and VFX supervisor Michael Glen sat down with The Creators Project for a behind-the-scenes look at their new ambitious project.
