OverviewPlayful, sly, deadpan imagining of the lives of fictional movie star couple, Richard and Julia. Martian Dawn presents a truly alternative present. Its protagonists, Richard and Julia, are surprisingly and strikingly reminiscent of the millionaire and prostitute in the film version of the Pygmalion update, Pretty Woman . While shooting a sci-fi movie called Martian Dawn , their lives intersect with a sea captain, producer, therapist and Tibetan Buddhist rinpoche.
