Oct 05, 2015 Mac DeMarco By Christopher Roberts

Mac DeMarco is apparently making his feature film acting debut in an indie horror film called Dark Prism and the first trailer for the film has been released. While part of me wonders if this is an elaborate prank by notorious jokester DeMarco, it is being presented as a real project by Stereogum. Dylan Greenberg directed the film, which looks crazy, but slightly amateur too. Will it be good or so bad it’s good or just bad? DeMarco plays a character named “The Master” (not to be confused with the Doctor Who character of the same name no doubt) and he narrates the trailer, which seems to feature lots of stock footage of cars crashing.

A post on the film’s Facebook page announcing DeMarco’s involvement describes the film as such: “DISCK PICTURES is proud to announce that MAC DEMARCO is one of the many talented members of the cast of our new feature film DARK PRISM. This will be his first acting role in a feature film. Starring castmembers also include SOFE COTE, SARA KAISER, CHANDANI SMITH, STEPHANIE DOMINI, MAX HUSTEN, and WAYNE GARRETT BAL “THE JURGEN MUNSTER”. The first trailer for DARK PRISM will be released MONDAY, OCTOBER FIFTH. In the meantime we will post a new still from the movie every day! DARK PRISM is about three unique and strange women, each battling their own demons, in both a literal and metaphorical sense. Although they exist in different times and perhaps different worlds, their lives will soon collide due to the mysterious appearance of a massive prism. Slowly, the world as one knows it disassembles, and the nonsensical becomes the sensical… in DARK PRISM. COMING SOON!”

DeMarco’s recently released eight-song mini-album, Another One, is out now via Captured Tracks. Check out the Dark Prism trailer below.
