OZMAR is a proof-of-concept short film based on the 1896 novel Ozmar the Mystic by Emeric Hulme Beaman. Designed to capture the essence, themes, and spirit of the original work, the film brings to life its Victorian-era, occult-detective adventure set across London and Egypt in the 19th century.

At its core, both the short film and the novel share a central theme: love—and the extremes people will go to when that love is taken from them. Whether it is the bond between a father and daughter or the devotion between partners, the story asks a simple but powerful question: When you have no one left to turn to, who will you trust?

The proof of concept introduces a mysterious figure at the centre of three intertwining narratives—a man with extraordinary abilities who performs metaphysical feats beyond understanding. Enigmatic, compelling, and seemingly unearthly, he bends the rules of reality itself.

OZMAR serves as a cinematic glimpse into a larger, ambitious world—one built on love, loss, mysticism, and the unknown.
