Irrationality in Hyperspace
Irrationality in Hyperspace screen play written by Aadiyta Jani was brought to Optical Relay Ltd in december 2008. The writers concept was of an unbridaled love between two friends and that feeling was so strong that nothing would get in the way of their friendship. Aaditya approached Robert Morgan with this concept and he was original blown away with the vision. Both worked on amendments to the script and the Original film was shot on Location in Hertfordshire and London. The shoot did not turn out to be exactly what director Aaditya Jani and Executive Producer Robert Morgan had envisioned so both the production company and the Director decided to re shoot at a later date. The resulting reshoot and re casting of all roles produced the final version of this short.
