“Prospect is the coming-of-age story of a teenage girl on a toxic alien planet. She and her father hunt for precious materials, aiming to strike it rich. When the father is attacked by a roving bandit, the daughter must take control.”
Above the wonderful father/daughter relationship and the great angle on the coming-of-age tale, the rich sound scape of alien animals shrieking in the forest is what lends this short all its credibility.
Prospect, by Seattle-based Shep Films, premiered at the 2014 SXSW Film Festival.
