Acting as a one man band, filmmaker and writer Raphael Rogers wrote, filmed, and edited his 8 minute Sci-Fi short film "Beyond". The film boasts impressive visual effects layered on practical shooting locations, all in California.
Rogers shot "Beyond" with a shoestring budget using a Canon C100 camera when a RED camera was not available. He filmed in three days in March 2013 and posted it to Youtube on August 21, 2013.
"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."
As of January 2015, the film has an "announced" status on IMDB, so it may be filmed in 2015 and released in 2016.
In November 2011 Rogers posted a 1 min, 20 second teaser video that utilized some slick editing and post-production work to create a Hollywood-style action/thriller feel.
