Great stories, continue, like fairytales for children, to teach us of our humanity, our limits and our possibilities, the widening of hope, and the value of truth. Prospects of living. Thanks, Rick, for this parable for the human paradox.
Thanks Galen. You got from the limericks just what I hoped an audience would absorb and take to heart. Appreciating your sensitivity and high skill at describing it.
You have written a review that I’m the most proud of––equally happy for PROSPECTS as a movie and realizing how skilled you are with words and your fine intellect. Thanks again, dear friend, for this and the collaboration of our movies together.
Carolyn Z writes a wonderful review! "Two of filmmaker Rick Schmidt’s signature strengths are on display in Prospects: his scintillating black and white cinematography and his elicitation of wonderful performances from non-actors. These skills were evident already in his first feature film, A Man a Woman and a Killer (1975) and have remained strong through his entire body of work since then."
