Ash is Flying Lotus’s 2025 science-fiction horror feature—not a documentary. Eiza González stars as Riya, a survivor who wakes on a distant planet to find her crew dead. When Brion, played by Aaron Paul, arrives as a possible rescuer, she must decide whether he can be trusted. The film runs about 95 minutes, and its release and streaming dates vary by territory.
What is Ash about?
Riya awakens on the mysterious planet Ash to discover that her crew has been slaughtered. Brion arrives offering help, but the central tension is whether the two survivors can rely on each other. GFC Films’ official synopsis describes the opening: “On the mysterious planet of Ash, Riya (Eiza González) awakens to find her crew slaughtered.”
The film is a science-fiction horror story directed by Flying Lotus and written by Jonni Remmler. Listings classify it as horror/science fiction or sci-fi/horror. For DocumentaryTube readers, the key distinction is that Ash is a fictional feature, not a documentary about space exploration.
