Razael Alucard Wickham is an American Writer/Director/Producer who has been developing an original Sci-Fi/Fantasy franchise entitled, The Edge Of Beyond for twenty plus years now. Born October 24th 1983 in Ft. Leonard Wood, MO and growing up in a military family in places such as Frankfurt, Germany and Tacoma, WA, Raz began his artistic journey as early as 1991 with various world building concepts, but it wasn't until 1997 when T.E.O.B. as a name came to fruition as well as the main story concepts supporting it. Unable to pursue a career in film after finishing high school in 2002 due to his financial status and location, he finalized what creative elements he could for T.E.O.B. before swaying towards a dormant side of his artistic self.
By default in 2003, Raz changed his artistic course in pursuit of the same ultimate goal and in turn became a full time musician being the Writer/Singer/Guitarist for the Thrash/Metal/Symphonic band of the same name. That same year, he founded R.A.W. Productions LLC as an officialbusiness entity to carry out his future plans for T.E.O.B. as a multimedia franchise. Spending several years writing, recording, and performing, he would come to find a natural groove behind his musical axe on stage, a blue Jackson King V-4 guitar along with two others whilst pioneering an original presence and sound that paid homage to the likes of Megadeth and Metallica.
After moving to Nashville, TN in October of 2007, he attended Audio Engineering courses at S.A.E. Institute and continued pursuing a music career for five years there. To his chagrin, he would end up being forced to walk away from the stage entirely in 2011 and back into the literary realm, reluctantly right back where he started. Sidetracked by the performance side of things for nearly 10 years, Raz took a long break from the world of music to refocus his career path and specifically hone the literary side of T.E.O.B. with a graphic novel series in the works. With the graphic novel falling through as a T.E.O.B. related project, Raz re-emerged with R.A.W. Productions in early 2012 to bring his epic story into a more tangible format.
In the fall of 2012, Raz started writing the official trilogy in screenplay form, which ended up taking nearly two years to complete. As Writer/Director/Producer, Raz is currently building up T.E.O.B. as an iconic brand through R.A.W. Productions, with all intents and purposes of using his flagship franchise to build a multimedia production company, which is aimed at helping to produce other creator owned projects in need of professional services. Sticking to what he knows best, Raz has continued developing his life's work in full, with T.E.O.B. remaining his overall legacy.
With three scripts already in his arsenal and several more on the way, Raz is now in the final stages of reverse engineering by releasing each of his screenplays into novelization with the first book, Rise Of The Fallen, released in 2015, the second, Wings Of Destruction, released in 2016, and the third, Twilight Of The Gods, released in 2017, and the official source/art book, Angelic Artifacts to be released in 2019. To add more credibility to his already profound design, Raz has been working with a local scientist named Weston Warren, Chief Research Scientist and co-inventor behind the world’s current PCO technology, who for the past year has been acting as Scientific Advisor, which in turn has brought more real world plausibility to the innovative concepts already supporting the story and overall vision behind T.E.O.B.
T.E.O.B. is currently being launched as a full length Sci-Fi/Fantasy franchise supported by various forms of visual related material. While building a fan base with the novel series through various convention circuits, Raz intends to crossover his epic saga into other forms of artistic media such as graphic novels, videogames, television, and more importantly film. With every interactive event Raz and his team does in regards to T.E.O.B. specifically, all footage is currently being captured for future use in the upcoming 2020 documentary, The Edge Of Beyond: Rise Of An Icon.
