STARGAZER tells the story of a naïve grad student, Grace Campbell, who gets the chance to revive the reputation of a forgotten female astronomer, Cecilia Payne. Cecilia discovered the nature of the universe, but saw her genius stolen by men. For Grace, history threatens to repeat itself when she’s forced to partner up with Spike Randall, an aggressive journalist who has booked Grace an appearance on a new television talk show with Annette Gordon-Reed the very next day—but at what cost? A dancer named Diana eavesdrops through the library shelves where she’s working on a story of her own, a mythic ballet about sex and power in ancient Greece. Diana leads Grace on a long night’s journey under the influence as Grace flashes back to Cecilia at Harvard in the 1920s, and both women are transported by fantasies. Grace will have to choose: Should she partner with a man she’s not sure she trusts, or kick Spike to the curb, go it alone, and stand up for Cecilia and herself?

Written by Rob Ackerman and Kate Ginna, STARGAZER was directed by Alan McIntyre and produced by Justus McLarty, Matt Bogart, and Rob Ackerman. STARGAZER features an ensemble cast that includes Kate Ginna (“Grace Campbell”), Matt Bogart (“Spike Randall”), Lei Nico (“Diana de la Palma”), and Annette Gordon-Reed as herself. One of Broadway’s leading men, Bogart just completed filming a made-for-TV version of the hit show, “Jersey Boys,” playing one of the four leads, opposite Nick Jonas. STARGAZER was an Official Selection at ten film festivals, including Soho International, Big Apple, and Philadelphia FirstGlance. It won Best Feature twice, among other awards, including two wins for Kate Ginna as Best Actress in a Feature.

Film Threat:

STARGAZER is “dramatic, funny, sweet, and engaging on all fronts…a must-watch.”

The Movie Elite:

“Unfolds like a mysterious pop-up book with secret little tabs to pull that unveil more depth and layers than at first glance.”

Take2IndieReview:

“STARGAZER is a poignant film about two women working together and supporting each other’s work as they smash the norms set by men.”

411 Mania:

“STARGAZER… is a very weird movie… Really, really weird… See it, see it, see it.”

Max Beyond utilises the latest ground-breaking Realtime animation technology called Unreal Engine (the same engine tech used to power video games like Fortnite). Using this approach has also enabled HaZimation to take a Transmedia view to expand the story and universe of Max Beyond into a video game (Consoles + PC).

The spin off video game of Max Beyond, is in active development with a release date of mid 2025. The game was signed on the ID@ Xbox program back in 2023.

This movie should be viewed by gamers as an introduction to the backstory / characters to the currently in production game Max Beyond.

The Max Beyond game immerses the players into the same world, action and obstacles as seen in the movie, but taking a fresh approach of this being a co-op based game, where both characters have to help each other to restore reality and escape the facility known as Axion, with the engaging game mechanics and alternative timelines.

Gamers will recognise the voices of two of the lead characters in the movie. One of them being Jane Perry who is a BAFTA award winning actress who voices on high profile games such as Cyberpunk, Returnal and Hitman.

HaZimation is excited to share that their animated action-thriller Max Beyond will be available on UK Digital Platforms from 22nd April & in the US from 23rd April

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 UK from 22nd April and US from 23rd April!

Mia Goldman (Birdsall), possessed by superior agility, strength and beauty, is driven by an incomprehensible, subconscious urge to travel south to the Yucatan. Surprised by a series of strange messages and disturbing events, she realizes a power greater than her own has changed her pleasure trip to heal from a nasty divorce into a dangerous, supernatural journey into the Mayan underworld and Fifth dimension.

Furthermore Mia, formerly oblivious to her extra-terrestrial lineage, discovers she’s no longer just a pleasure seeking, divorced female from New Jersey, but the Last Celestial from an ancient, extra-terrestrial race who can change human destiny and save humans from total destruction.  She overcomes her fear of being sacrificed, does what’s necessary to save humanity and fall in love again.

Birdsall’s character is described as “beautiful, buff, coy, a skilled martial artist and former MMA champion with long, flowing, blond hair and penetrating, blue eyes”.

Rudy Youngblood (Apocalypto) co-stars.

Set to shoot on the island of Gran Canaria, Dance of the Blue Tattoo is currently in pre-production with a release date to be announced in the New Year.
