This is a pilot teaser for the grand narrative of Hex Space, a story about the protagonists and events that defined a time when nothing was more valuable in space than space itself. Hex Space is an original work in progress, created by Greek filmmaker Nikolaos Stampoulopoulos. The project aspires to evolve into a science fiction franchise that will include books, games, a TV series (with possible spinoffs) and various forms of online content.
