When the residents of Brainerd, Minn., discover an inexplicable stretch of water opening up in the icy lakes despite arctic cold, a wannabe TV director declares it the perfect topic for a pilot episode about small-town mysteries. But as the ambitious project drags on, the hole in question begins to consume more than the surrounding ice. Writer, director and producer Alex Karpovsky also stars in his feature film debut.

Director

Alex Karpovsky

Alex Karpovsky studied visual ethnography at Oxford University before wasting the next few years of his life trying to become the next Andy Kaufman. He now acts and makes movies. Alex’s award-winning debut feature, THE HOLE STORY, earned him a slot in Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 new faces of independent film and a plastic key to a small city in Northern Minnesota. His subsequent two films (WOODPECKER & TRUST US, THIS IS ALL MADE UP) premiered at SXSW and have lassoed in several fiberglass trophies, polyester ribbons and miscellaneous ceramics. As an actor, Alex has had leading roles in feature-length films that have shown at the Sundance, Berlin, Cannes, Los Angeles, and SXSW film festivals. He is also the voice of numerous Russian gangsters in Grand Theft Auto IV. Alex delights in moonscapes, balloons, taking walks (solo), pistachios and playing basketball with urban teenagers. —Alexkarpovsky.com
