A film about a black hole apocalypse and an eccentric billionaire…

Funded by the Sloan Foundation, A HOLE is a fable centered around the theory of relativity.

A HOLE premiered at Palm Springs Shortfest in 2020. The project was advised all the way through by famed astrophysicist and graphic novelist, Clifford V. Johnson as well as post-doc physicist Siavash Yasini. Further, the VFX of the film were developed right at the time the first-ever image of a black hole was documented and so there is real basis for the images featured.
