Here’s an awesome short Film done by a group of very creative South African’s calling themselves the Blackheart Gang.  It’s a very cool story about an island of Kiwi’s who keep getting eaten by a huge octopus that doesn’t allow them to live in peace or leave the island until one of them gets an idea to put messages in a  bottle and throw them into the ocean…
