"To find our place in the universe, we must venture beyond our boundaries." Gravitas Ventures debuted this full trailer for the space sci-fi The Beyond, one of the first features from Hasraf 'HaZ' Dulull, who got his start making cool sci-fi short films on Vimeo. We featured a teaser trailer for this earlier in the year, but the film has undergone extensive reshoots and re-edits, and this new trailer is a better look at what HaZ has cooked up. The Beyond is a low-budget sci-fi somewhat based on the idea first introduced in his short Project Kronos - first contact. It's about astronauts going through a wormhole ("The Void") to another part of the universe, who return early, and now everyone wants to know what they found on the other side. The cast includes Nigel Barber, Jane Perry, Brian Deacon, and David Bailie. Sci-fi geeks need to see this. Here's...

Exclusive: UK feature to be directed by vfx supervisor Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull.
Previsualization is underway on producers Parkgate Entertainment and Iam Entertainment’s UK sci-fi thriller Origin Unknown, set to be directed by vfx supervisor Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull.

Screenplay comes from Gary Hall based on a story by Dulull, who worked on The Dark Knight as part of the previsualization team and Hellboy II: The Golden Army as digital compositor.
The film is being financed by private investors.

We have another astounding sci-fi short film for you to watch from director Hasraf HaZ Dulull. This is this same filmmaker who developed the short films Sync and Project Kronos. This guy is on fire, and I've enjoyed all of the shorts that he has made. His latest project is called "I.R.I.S." It's set in the near future, and deals with a artificial intelligence that goes rouge. Here is a brief plot summary:
Nano tech driven drones are used for reconnaissance missions and social surveillance. These drones are run by Iris, an advanced A.I system, which soon begins to unleash an attack upon mankind the likes of which we have never seen.
"I.R.I.S." features a great, big idea concept that could easily be adapted into a feature film. The idea is amazingly executed in his short, and it's wildly intense. I think you're going to enjoy this!

Why Watch? Filmmaker Hasraf Dulull has done effects work for The Dark Knight, Hellboy II and other high-profile projects, but he’s really emerging as a directing talent to watch with Project Kronos. The documentary-style look at space exploration is layered with sleek informational design and sees scientists trying to solve a conundrum about securing a computer powerful enough to house the data retrieved on an interstellar trip. The answer is simple, but controversial. According to Variety, the short has been picked up by Armory/Benderspinkweiner for the full-length treatment, and it’s easy to see why. It’s like Errol Morris meets Stanley Kubrick — a talking head experience that unfolds like a mystery. Shot pristinely and boasting a rainbow flurry of experimental imagery, this is a fantastic short that exists in a universe worth expanding. Check it out below: What Will It Cost? About 14 minutes.

A couple of months ago, we shared a trailer for Project Kronos, a sci-fi space exploration short written and directed by Hasraf 'HaZ' Dulull. The short has now been released online in its entirety. It was filmed in the style of a documentary, and is set in the not too distant future, following a mission to achieve interstellar space travel.
As the mission unfolds with extraordinary results, the scientists find themselves dealing with a much bigger agenda.
This is an interesting short that I think many of you might enjoy checking out, so here ya go!

"We are actually watching Kronos dreaming about the journey it took and what it remembered." Let's make contact. Earlier this year we featured the trailer for an upcoming faux-documentary short called Project Kronos, that exploreed an attempt to achieve interstellar travel in a realistic way. The full short, running 14 minutes, has finally debuted and after watching it I have to feature it here. The biggest reason being the connection or hint this has to Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, additionally because it has a Contact-esque feel to it that actually gets exciting to watch as it continues into the later half. It's worth a quick view below. Project Kronos, written and directed by Hasraf 'HaZ' Dulull (his Vimeo), is a "documentary" following a mission to achieve interstellar travel, starring Noeleen Comiskey, Victor Perez, Wesley Nike and Georgina Blackledge. As the mission unfolds with extraordinary results, the scientists find themselves dealing with a much bigger agenda.
