Like us, you were probably bummed to hear about the Sundance Film Festival cancelling its in-person activities. Understandable, of course, but sad nonetheless. So we reached out to some filmmakers to help get their films some love and attention!
This week we have Joe Hunting, director of the documentary “We Met in Virtual Reality.” Joe has been making content in the world of VRChat for a while, but this is his first feature doc. In our interview, he discusses the unique challenges and joys of shooting a film in VR, how he met the colorful cast of characters in the movie, and much more.
