Blackstar Warrior
Description: In a 1970s version of the future, an egotistical space detective struggles to solve his biggest missing-persons case: finding his birth mother.

Comments: Cheesy throwback sci fi TV meets Blaxploitation films, this one is a ton of fun. Hoping for more adventures of the Blackstar Warrior.
Planet Unknown

Credits: Shawn Wang (Director / Writer)
Comments: This beautifully animated film is basically WALL-E in reverse, and it gets a lot of mileage from its premise. This one could potentially be expanded into a feature film.
