A teenage girl and her father travel to a remote alien moon, aiming to strike it rich. They’ve secured a contract to harvest a large deposit of the elusive gems hidden in the depths of the moon’s toxic forest. But there are others roving the wilderness and the job quickly devolves into a fight to survive. Forced to contend not only with the forest’s other ruthless inhabitants, but with her own father’s greed-addled judgment, the girl finds she must carve her own path to escape.
“The defiantly lo-fi “Prospect” is a smartly entertaining throwback that doesn’t need a Marvel movie’s worth of CGI to make its point.” – Cary Darling, Houston Chronicle
“The film balances genre thrills with a detailed depiction of prospecting on an alien world, created via a mix of practical locations (shot in a damp Northwestern forest) and some psychedelic digital backdrops.” – Noel Murray, Los Angeles Times
“It’s rare to see a sci-fi movie that genuinely has a true grit to it.” – Nick Allen, RogerEbert.com
“It is a visually dazzling and thrilling adventure of a movie, and one which could be just the beginnings of an elusive career for its directors Christopher Caldwell and Zeek Earl.” – David Fontana, Film Inquiry
