One of the most interesting features of "Magus ex Machina" is usage of GPU rendering, which reduces production time and requires smaller hardware investments. All 3D scenes of the movie were rendered with Unigine, captured and composed with post effects (a little movie showing the technical process can be downloaded here:

Qilqax International also has an international letter of intent for distribution from a major network.
Right now authors of "Magus ex Machina" are looking for an investor to fund next stages of the production. Overall planned budget of the project is about $3 millions.
