Monday 26th February Los Angeles: HaZimation is excited to share that their animated action-thriller Max Beyond will be available on US Digital Platforms from April 23rd.
Max Beyond tells the story of Max a young boy held captive in a research facility. Using his ability to create rifts in the fabric of spacetime across parallel universes he searches for the reality in which his brother Leon a former-marine manages to rescue him. With attempt after attempt ending in Leon’s death the strain starts to take its toll on both brothers. When Max discovers his captors are using his power against him he realizes he must stop focusing on how the story ends and rewrite the story from the beginning.
The cast includes BAFTA-award winning actor Jane Perry (Cyberpunk 2077, Hitman, Returnal) Dave Fennoy (The Walking Dead) and Cade Tropeano (Black Bird). Motion capture performances from Ace Ruele(Eternals) and Alex Kong (Marvel Studio’s What If?).
Max Beyond is directed co-written and co-produced by Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull (Disney’s Fast Layne, indie sci-fi features – The Beyond & 2036 Origin Unknown) co-written by Stavros Pamballis(Siege On Liperti Street) and co-produced by Paula Crickard (Jolt,The Protege).
Commenting on the film writer director HaZ said “What if you had the ability to reset dimensions to find the right moment that will save your brother, but the more you do it, the weaker you get? Strap in for Max Beyond, a tour de force rollercoaster ride of big & intense action, with edge of the seat thrills and emotionally charged characters as the story pulls the audiences into the mind-bending multi-universe.”
The film’s executive producers are Yariv Lerner (Rambo – Last Blood, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard), Amy Gardner (Identicals) and Jason Potter. The music score is by Miroshot, a band known for their experiential music featured in SXSW 2022.
Max Beyond will be available on Digital Download in the US from April 23rd
Ralph Greco, Jr. is the devilishly clever nom de plume of professional writer/musician Ralph Greco who lives in the wilds of suburban New Jersey. He is also a podcast co-host, but as everyone has a podcast these days, this fact is of very little consequence.
