Remastered and stunningly redesigned, Alex Karpovsky's cult indie, which FILMMAKER MAGAZINE called "one of the most original comedies we've seen in a long time," is back and better than ever!
Winter. Brainerd, Minnesota. Despite arctic temperatures sheathing hundreds of surrounding lakes in three feet of solid ice, a massive stretch of water opens up on the surface of North Long Lake. With repeated scientific investigations yielding no answers, the "Black Hole" captures the heart of the nearby community while attracting national, even international attention.
