In this episode, I chatted with Prospect’s breakout star Sophie Thatcher—known for her haunting turn in The Exorcist Season One—and co-director Zeek Earl to explore the making of one of indie sci-fi’s most atmospheric gems.
🌌 About the Film Prospect follows teenage Cee (Thatcher) and her father as they descend onto a toxic alien moon in search of valuable gems. What begins as a mining expedition quickly spirals into a tense survival story, where trust is scarce and every breath counts. Directed by Zeek Earl and Chris Caldwell, the film is a masterclass in world-building, shot in the lush Hoh Rainforest of Washington State.
