As VR programmers for Fantasia we are thrilled of the success of genre VR at this year’s edition.
And this year’s winner is Dinner Party.
The first widely publicized report of an alien abduction in America provides the backdrop for director Angel Manuel Soto’s latest virtual reality short film, Dinner Party.
Soto said he was drawn to the September 1961 account of Barney and Betty Hill’s encounter with extraterrestrials in rural New Hampshire, both as a sensational story that captivated the nation — and as an opportunity to explore race and privilege. Barney, a postal worker, was African American. His wife, a social worker, was white.
Congrats to Skybound and director Angel Manuel Soto.
