Screen Media, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment company, on May 30 announced the acquisition of North American rights to the science-fiction fantasy film  Sight Extended.


Written and directed by Daniel Lazo and Eran May-Raz, the film stars Andrew Riddell, Nova Gaver, and Phillip Andre Botello. Screen Media is planning a June 6 digital release.


The film is set in a near future dominated by augmented-reality eyepieces. A troubled young man who suffers from agoraphobia experiences an unlikely transformation when he comes across a mysterious A.I. that transforms every facet of his life into a game.


“As we move toward a future where augmented reality and AI become an increasingly integral part of our lives, it’s important to question our own agency in this new world,” said director Daniel Lazo. “Sight Extended explores the fascinating and terrifying possibilities that emerge when we allow AI to know us better than we know ourselves. Through the lens of a thrilling, thought-provoking story, we invite audiences to consider the complex interplay between technology, identity, and agency in our rapidly evolving world.”


Sight Extended is based on the viral award-winning short film Sight (2012), which Forbes described as “an 8-minute augmented reality journey that makes Google Glass look tame.” Sight Extended also won Best Sci-Fi Film at the Paris Film Festival and the Gold Award for Best Indie Feature Film at the Hollywood Gold Awards.


Lev Avery-Peck negotiated the deal on behalf of Screen Media.

MOVIE SCORE: 7.5/10 "…brings an electricity onscreen which hums in the air" The performances are of the highest caliber, as one would expect, considering the pedigree. Paquin waltzes with self-deception and realization with an authority that few others could muster. Winstone does what he is the best at, which is why he is the one and only. The surprise acting juggernaut here is Hogan, who is completely smashing as the mysterious Neil.
