Los Angeles-based filmmaker and game developer
Heath C. Michaels brings
to life The World Over,
a high-end short film that will challenge and mislead your perception of reality and temporality. Containing hints of horror, this multi-layered fantasy thriller will have its World Premiere at the
2018 BIFAN - Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival
in South Korea on July 15th, 2018.
When a couple discovers a door leading to a parallel world, they find themselves embroiled in a dangerous game of mistaken identity after coming face-to-face with mirror images of themselves. The World Over ingeniously shifts perspectives and skews perceptions until its unexpected twist. A cross-genre proof of concept for Michaels’ upcoming feature film of the same name.

"As a director, I wanted to bring a very personal fear, one of isolation, and tell a visceral story from that perspective,” says director Heath C. Michaels. “The multiverse really epitomizes the truest demonstration of that fear, because for someone who is isolated with themselves as their only company, I cannot imagine anything more horrific than being with more versions of yourself,” he concludes.
