In 2004, the teenage filmmakers produced a three hour "Return of the King" parody, at ages 11 & 13, which debuted at ORC 2006, and was featured on TheOneRing.net. Winners of the "Dork of the Rings" film contest & ELF music video contest, M.A.R.S. has screened films at GenCon, Dragon*Con and produced documentaries of Dragon*Con and Starbase Indy, with interviews with various celebrities, such as Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica). With the popularity of their "Middle Earth Idols" music video, M.A.R.S. produced an extended version featuring the top 12 contestants, with celebrity guest judges Kiran Shah, Daniel Reeve, Dean Haglund, Grant Wilson and more. "Middle Earth Idols" premiered at ORC 2007 in Burbank, California. Andy Serkis was among the guests to watch the fan favorite encore performance of Gollum.
USA Today blogged their recent "Middle Earth Idols" film, commending the filmmakers on their creativity and advanced capabilities at such a young age. And, the Pulse-Journal recently did a full page newspaper article on the "Young Movie Moguls." In addition to their devotion to the LOTR genre, M.A.R.S. films paranormal investigations for Darkness Radio, and recently filmed investigations of the Queen Mary and Stanley Hotel. Their Queen Mary film & "Most Haunted" parody premiered at the Stanley Hotel in March 2007.
In April 2007, Ashlee and Rachel produced a short film parody of “The Shining,†starring Jason Hawes (Ghost Hunters), Grant Wilson (Ghost Hunters) and Dave Schrader (Darkness Radio). Rachel and Ashlee also appear in the film. It was directed by Ashlee Scott and Patrick Burns (Haunting Evidence) and filmed in part at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado.
M.A.R.S. recently filmed at Eastern State Penitentiary and will produce a film about Waverly Hills Sanitarium during the coming weeks. They are currently in production of a feature length film, an original work entitled, "On the Wings of Dragons."
