To celebrate the release of Biosphere, the new comedy/drama starring Sterling K. Brown and Mark Duplass, we had the pleasure of their company last week to find out more.

Billy (Mark Duplass) and Ray (Sterling K. Brown) are lifelong best friends, brothers from another mother – and the last two men on earth. Their survival is largely due to Ray, a brilliant scientist who designed a domed structure with all the systems necessary to sustain life on a planet that could no longer support it. With a mere three fish remaining, Billy and Ray face an ominous future. But life may yet find a way.

Chatting to the two leads (with Duplass co-writing as well), we talk about the lure of the film, its brilliant marketing campaign and poster, the advantages and disadvantages of the “single-location” film, their friendship on-screen and the challenges of small independent films getting oxygen from the big blockbusters, especially during the summer season.
