Coming in 2025 Black country by the sea explores the narrative of a world where the waters have risen and we’re no longer in control. All hail our Octopus overloads!

Our Octopus overloads find us such strange little creatures that they have built us a human reserve. Come and see the humans in their natural habitat! Black country by the sea is a perfect (at least in their eyes) recreation of human world.

Styled after Telly Savalas 1981 – Telly Savalas looks at Birmingham tourist information film (yes it’s real and on you tube) Black Country by the sea will be a light hearted tourist information film for Octopuses bringing their young to see the funny humans.
