Occupied VR speaks with VRTL about their companion VR piece to Fatih Akin’s “The Golden Glove,” a horror film (based on real events) in competition at Berlinale 2019. VRTL Editor-in-Chief, Justine Harcourt de Tourville found the VR piece to be just as scary and creepy as the movie and J. Lee Williams and Timur Musabay explain their approach and decisions to make an escape room piece with volumetric capture with painstaking detail.

In this conversation with Karen Palmer, a multi-disciplinary immersive filmmaker who uses art, AI, gamification, neuroscience and behavioral psychology in her work, VRTL learns about her anti-empathy approach. Palmer's RIOT, an installation that required bespoke artificial intelligence, used storylines triggered by the viewer’s response to calm, anger and/or fear. Palmer tells how fear has significant relevance to her creativity, and she reveals her unique way of grappling with it.

Recently I had the honor and pleasure of being able to speak to a wonderful and passionate person about the future of Virtual production and how the workflow of feature films as such has changed in recent years. His name is Hasraf Dulull, better known as HaZ.
He’s a filmmaker who started as a visual effects supervisor on feature films on TV before making his directing and producing debut with the hit indie sci-fi feature film THE BEYOND which was a commercial success on all VOD platforms before being licensed by Netflix. This led to his 2nd feature film - 2036 ORIGIN UNKNOWN starring Katee Sackhoff which got a limited theatrical release in the US and is currently on Netflix.
