Black Holesis described as \"a satirical animated series aboutspace conquest, the meaning of life and proctology\"on its Kickstarter page. <\/p>\n
The film was selected in the short film competition at Sundance 2017, and shows just a teaser of what could be, as it actually represents a concept prototype for the series of 10 x 22-minute episodes that the team is working to develop. <\/p>\n

Maybe we won't get to go into space until 2018 at the earliest, but with a bit more helpBlack Holescould be shooting onto screens pretty soon. <\/p>\n
