Honored to announce that my immersive MFA thesis film, “Walking Past Abandoned Houses, I Think of Eric” featuring Portsmouth, Ohio poet Barbara Costas-Biggs, will make its world premiere October 7th, in Toronto, Canada as an official selection of the 6th Annual FIVARS Festival of International Virtual & Augmented Stories festival. Huffington Post has named this festival “The Most Cutting-Edge Storytelling Festival in the World.” TORONTO — Congratulations! Our jury has carefully selected your entry from over 200 international entrants submitted over the past 12 months to be among the Official Selections at the 2020 - 6th Annual FIVARS Festival of International Virtual & Augmented Reality Stories The Festival of International Virtual and Augmented Reality Stories focuses on curating the best immersive story-driven content from around the world with the aim of exploring and nurturing this platform for new narrative forms. FIVARS was the first Canadian festival of its kind featuring many world premieres and in our preview screenings and events, audience responses are consistently full of contemplation, surprise, delight, controversy and wonder. The difference is that, unlike modern cinema where you explore these worlds through a window, with Virtual Reality you can now transport into the center of the action, standing inside of the world you wish to explore. Just like real life, if you try to look away from what is in front of you, you will now see what is behind, below, above, to the right or left of you. The real-time response of your head’s movement creates a powerful sense of physical immersion that allows you or your intended audience to connect to the content on a deeper, more visceral level. FIVARS (Festival of International Virtual and Augmented Reality Stories) openly encourages viewers to enjoy and connect to stories in this newly emergent narrative form, while challenging content creators to showcase ideas that defy and transcend the status quo. #fivars2020 #ouscrippsmfa #opioidcrisis #immersiveartexperience #immersivestorytelling #360videoproduction (at Toronto, Ontario, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF5BFKVg38YiCA2QHw0ROUhPace0MwK0bP7X6g0/?igshid=1h7cf288as4y6
