Though "Zero Prospect" is no great epic, what it achieves on a truly shoestring budget is pretty extraordinary: nearly the entire film was shot in the director's basement on sets he built himself, but you wouldn't know it, with a number of intricate spaceship interiors, highly-detailed miniatures and nearly flawless special effects. The story centers on two regular joes who pilot a spaceship and are just trying to get by; when a competitor sabotages a simple ore mining mission, they have to scramble just to make it out alive.
This is one of those movies made sheerly for the love of it; the cast may be just a bunch of the director's buddies, but they are believable enough in their roles, and their natural Alabama accents add a bit of charm to their characters. Kudos also to Cressall for writing a script that, while not 100% thrilling, has an inarguable authenticity that will appeal to detail-oriented sci fi fans. You really get the feeling that this is what everyday life might be like for ordinary folks in the interstellar future.
All in all, the film looks as though it was shot for about 100 times its budget, and I'm not exaggerating. Worth a look, if you can find it. (It's not commercially available to my knowledge.)
