In 'Part ONE' mathematical calculations may save a race or instigate a galactic war via Hannibal Barca Productions, Echelon Studios. Messages literally get crossed in a new rom-com from Sony Pictures, Escape Artists, Netflix.

'Black Holes Suck' is the feature directorial debut from Claudio Benedetti, which he also wrote. After cracking his formula for unlimited energy, Cal (Jordan Pearce), a lonely genius unknowingly agrees to a date with an Alien (Angel Holley) who’s true motives lies in obtaining his formula before it can be used to wreak havoc amongst the Stars.

'Voicemails for Isabelle' is written & directed by Leah McKendrick. A young woman’s (Zoey Deutch) hilariously confessional voicemails to her late sister (Ciara Bravo) are unknowingly redirected to a stranger (Nick Robinson), who begins to fall in love from afar.

'The Voices of Our Mother' is written & directed by Mark O'Brien. When a family matriarch (Sheila McCarthy) falls seriously ill, relatives gather (O'Brien, Georgina Reilly, Carolina Bartczak, Alex Ozerov-Meyer) and discover their shared ancestral ties bind them in unexpected ways.
