In Development....
The Underground Astronauts is a collaboration between Infinite Variety Productions and Playful Substance using interviews about the real life exploits of the women scientists who excavated the Rising Star cave system in South Africa and discovered a previously unknown human relative. 

What is in store for 2022-23? ​

We are slowly coming back after a difficult couple of years. 
Healing takes time, and we are coming back to a world that has fundamentally changed
even as our commitment to story, community, creativity and representation
​remains as strong as it ever was.
