Product Description As the deadliest natural disaster in US history strikes Galveston, Texas, taking between 6,000 and 12,000 lives, a mysterious televisual device projects images of unknown origin. Blake Williams experimental 3-D film immerses us in the storm's aftermath, at every minute represented by remarkable and mysterious sights of one world nearing destruction as another emerges. A consideration of technology, cinema, and the medium s future, PROTOTYPE is equal parts dense and fleet an unprecedented experience with no clear ancestor or likely successor. Review "The most significant 3-D film since Goodbye to Language." --Calum Marsh, The Village Voice "Critic's Pick! A puzzle of strange pleasures, a nerve-racking way of recalibrating how to look at the screen and the world outside the screen." --Glenn Kenny, The New York Times "A 60-minute avant-garde film has managed to easily outmatch any hundred-million-dollar production in its use of 3D." --Dan Schindel, Hyperallergic
