Whilst most 85-year-olds struggle to switch between selfies and snapshots on their smartphones, Ridley Scott has a slightly better handle on tech.

Partnering with Samsung, the legendary director has helmed a poetic short captured entirely with Galaxy S23 Ultra, the tech company’s new flagship device.

Written by Luke Scott and based on an idea from the Ridley Scott Creative Group’s newly established creative division, the film, Behold, follows a young man, confronted by hostility and aggression, chased into a world where he's forced to find his escape, his own version of peace.

The film also features an original poem from Barbican Young Poet, Royal Court Writer’s Group, and Soho Theatres Writers Lab alum Jeremiah 'Sugar J' Brown, entitled Us.

“I think the idea is allegorical,” said Ridley Scott. “It’s a very simple, emotional piece of storytelling. And shooting on a phone, we were able to access real environments and smaller spaces.” 

Created in association with Plan’it and Cheil, and with VFX from Untold Studios, the collaboration marks the second time in recent years that Scott’s production company RSA Films have created narrative storytelling for Samsung Galaxy, the former being Joe Wright’s award-winning 2021 puppetry short Princess and Peppernose.
