About Quicksand
On the brink of separation, Sofia and Josh set out into a thick Colombian rainforest seeking a quiet getaway, but nature has other plans. A sudden sinkhole of mud traps them, and the couple finds themselves fighting to keep their heads above ground. With the jungle closing in, their supplies dwindling and danger lurking behind every palm, trust and patience become as vital as trying to free their bodies. As the rain pounds down and the terrain shifts beneath their feet, every choice could push them closer to safety or pull them apart for good. Quicksand plays on fear, isolation, and the grit of human connection in a claustrophobic wilderness. The camera lingers on textures and sounds that heighten unease.
Directed by Andres Beltran, Quicksand adapts Matt Pitts's concept into a high tension survival story set in Colombia's rainforests. Principal cast includes Carolina Gaitán as Sofia and Allan Hawco as Josh, with Sebastián Eslava and Andrés Castañeda in supporting roles.

The lack of recognition is typical for smaller genre titles released outside prime awards season, yet the film could still attract attention from genre festivals or regional critics and potentially more.

Critics note the film's tense pacing, its relentless jungle atmosphere, and how the central relationship is tested under pressure. The themes center on trust, vulnerability, and the fight to survive together, while the visuals underline isolation effectively.
