Cast
Production
Parts of the film were shot in Park City, Utah.[1] The movie was developed as a TV pilot, and released theatrically when the networks showed no interest. John Schuck stated that while the area where the movie was shot was beautiful, the two-week production of the film was rushed and the script was lacking. He also felt the 16-mm filming did not lend itself to a theatrical release.[2]
Reception
In Creature Feature, the movie received 2 out of 5 stars, finding the direction lacking.[3] The show was cited as one that had potential, but was not picked up as a series in Starlog.[4]
