A special gift. to a bored clerk. the too many posibilities to use it. and, the error as result of deep sin. modern in every aspect, it reminds the old Arabian Nights. for the moral, for the character who is transformed, step by step, by his discover, for the end who reminds the limit of the bocke by reality. a film about greed, at the first sigh. in fact, only the subtle question "what you do if..." is the basic source of seduction and challenge for the viewer.

The Black Hole is a short comedy, thriller, crime short film by Philip Samson and Olly Williams, released in 2008. When a sleep deprived office worker accidentally photocopies a black hole late one night, the possibilities suddenly seem endless. But will greed get the better of him?This was a really well done short film. With simply no dialogue, and an obvious route when it gets there, this is a film about morality, with a simple meaning behind it. Normally, I would be annoyed by a film like this – it goes about it in quite an obvious way, with no other way it could go, but Samson and Williams did this really well. It was paced, fast paced, but paced out so that it didn't go on for too long. The acting in this was really well done; I'm amazed at just how well Napoleon Ryan did in this short film. He did really well, and he really played the part of a greed stricken man very well. It was really not hard to believe this was just another greedy office worker in the world, and it wasn't hard to believe he was real. This had a humorous ending and was really well done. Kudos to Samson and Williams. I will definitely be looking for more from them.

And I do not mean this in any negative way. To me, this little film felt like a joke that you tell somebody with a punchline in the end and everything before that leads to this ending. "The Black Hole" is a 2.5-minute short film from sever years ago written and directed by Philip Sansom and Olly Williams. A man realizes that the document he just printed works as a black hole, so he can grab some sweets for free, but he gets greedier and greedier and his next target is the company's safe. He goes for it and it seems like a success, but only until his greed gets the best of him and he decides to pretty much climb into the safe. Bed decision here. Unfortunately, the two filmmakers have not managed to build a feature film career on the Youtube success of this little movie here. The lead actor at least appeared in minor roles in famous films such as "The Master". Good watch here and I recommend. Certainly worth 2-3 minutes of your time.

Silently and in three minutes this little short film delivers a single punch-line that is an end to the tale and it does it is a very enjoyable way. An office worker is busy doing pointless photocopying late at night and is clearly tired and fed up with the whole affair. When the copier produces a piece of paper with a black circle on it he finds that it somehow creates a void in any object he puts it against. So taking a chocolate bar out of the vending machine by creating a void in the glass is a given, but it takes mere seconds for his ambitions to be greater.A simple morality tale this one but well delivered as a contained idea – get in, get out and satisfy the audience with the slightest of offerings. There is no dialogue here but it still works because the idea is simple and delivered well. I laughed at the end, although it did have a certain dramatic edge to it as well. A very simple short film but the idea is quickly developed and delivered which made it surprisingly satisfying and punchy.
