Nice! You saw it too. It was one of those under the radar type movies. Low production costs and all. Not that the effects were shoddy. But it was story driven, unlike the action oriented sci-fi and super hero schlock out there. I did watch on youtube some of the short. Glad someone had the notion to flesh it out. The father did seem driven with that strike it rich attitude that always gets a prospector in a bad situation. Think Humprey Bogart's character, Fred C. Dobbs in the Gold of the Sierra Madre. I actually liked the heavy, Ezra whom caused the fathers demise. He rather showed some character later on when the getn' got tough. All in all a satisfying little tale on another planet.
If you ever have a notion to check out the other movie, Under The Skin. Better read up on it first. Because it gives scant little info to go on from the minimalist dialog. It is an interesting concept though. I need to check out the book it was adapted from.
