Get ready for an enthralling journey across parallel universes with HaZimation’s latest animated action-thriller, “Max Beyond,” set to debut on US digital platforms starting April 23rd. This captivating film invites audiences into a high-stakes adventure that blends intense action, emotional depth, and mind-bending sci-fi elements.
Max Beyond is The Quest of Two Brothers Through Parallel Universes
“Max Beyond” unfolds the gripping tale of Max, a young boy imprisoned within a clandestine research facility. Gifted with the extraordinary ability to tear through the spacetime fabric, Max embarks on a relentless quest across parallel universes to find the one reality where his brother Leon, an ex-marine, succeeds in rescuing him. As each attempt tragically concludes with Leon’s demise, the emotional and physical toll on the brothers escalates. The plot takes a dramatic turn when Max learns his captors are exploiting his powers against him, prompting a pivotal shift in strategy: to not just seek a different ending, but to alter the narrative from its inception.
A Stellar Cast and Creative Team
The film boasts performances from an award-winning cast, including Jane Perry, known for her BAFTA-winning role in “Cyberpunk 2077,” alongside Dave Fennoy from “The Walking Dead” and Cade Tropeano of “Black Bird.” The movie also features motion capture performances by Ace Ruele (“Eternals”) and Alex Kong (Marvel Studio’s “What If?”).
Behind this ambitious project is director, co-writer, and co-producer Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull, celebrated for his work on “Disney’s Fast Layne” and indie sci-fi hits “The Beyond” & “2036 Origin Unknown.” Dulull is joined by co-writer Stavros Pamballis (“Siege On Liperti Street”) and co-producer Paula Crickard (“Jolt,” “The Protege”).
Director HaZ encapsulates the essence of “Max Beyond” with his vision: “Imagine the power to reset dimensions to save your brother, but each reset drains your strength. ‘Max Beyond’ is a high-octane rollercoaster of intense action, suspense, and emotionally charged characters, designed to pull audiences into a multi-universe odyssey.”
The film’s executive production team includes Yariv Lerner, Amy Gardner, and Jason Potter, with an evocative music score by Miroshot, celebrated for their experiential tracks featured at SXSW 2022.
“Max Beyond” is poised to be a standout addition to the animated action-thriller genre, promising a unique blend of heart-pounding action, compelling storytelling, and innovative animation.
