Universal Pictures’ Syfy Films division has optioned the rights to the sci-fi short BEYOND, with the short’s director on board to produce and helm the big-screen translation, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Written, directed and produced by Raphael Rogers, BEYOND began as a short film that Rogers shot for $1000 that caught the attention of several production companies in Hollywood. Rogers served as cinematographer and editor and was responsible for visual effects on the short and has been tapped to helm the big-screen version of his tale.
