Curiosidades
In the opening sequence (shot in Lone Pine, CA) during a moving time-lapse, a shooting star can be seen streaking across the sky. The filmmaker did not realize he had captured the shooting star until after the first private screening, where a film writer noticed it and commented that a similar thing occurred during the making of "Jaws": During a night sequence on the Orca in which Brody loads his revolver, a shooting star can be seen in the background (which was not noticed by director Stephen Spielberg until later).

Perfect metaphor for Creatives

This film is a poignant metaphor of the creative process. It captures all the emotions that artists (especially writers) encounter when creating something from nothing.

The main character is a prospector, digging for something - what exactly, he's not quite sure. In an intimate voiceover, the prospector talks about chasing a "whisper" of an idea, and pulling on "a ghost of a thread" to pursue the development of that idea.

The prospector digs relentlessly through heat, cold, rain, and darkness in an exhausting effort to find the proverbial eureka moment where that idea seed finds it's roots and becomes what it was meant to be.

The story's message will be deeply felt by anyone who has created art, and its insights can be used as motivation to keep creating. Highly recommend.
