Episode 016: The immersive world of virtual reality - a talk with Michel Reilhac

"If you’re going to play with VR, you need to ask yourself 'who is the viewer in that experience, what is his or her place, what is their identity - or do they even have one'. From the script writing phase to the directing phase, this is something we haven’t had to deal with before."

In episode 16 of The Evolving Media Podcast, we’ll dip our feet into the exciting waters of virtual reality and immersive storytelling together with someone who knows a lot about that field. Michel Reilhac is a producer, former head of Dutch outfit Submarine, former Head of Film Acquisition at ARTE and a lot more, and is right now the Director of Studies at the Venice Biennale College for VR.

We talk about the hype around VR, how we as producers can know our project is suitable for VR, what the first steps should be… and we also divert to Kenya for a brief spell :). Dive in!
