Currents
'Currents' is a live-action VR film crafted for the Apple Vision Pro, following Linh, a young woman leaving her tranquil countryside for the relentless energy of Ho Chi Minh City. As she navigates chaos of urban life, the film examines how rapidly growing cities reshape our identities, dreams, and connections, offering a poignant reflection on the human cost of progress. Blending traditional filmmaking with motion capture, intricate animation, and an original score by Jake Oleson, 'Currents' utilizes the Vision Pro’s unprecedented fidelity to step into Linh’s world as she breaks generations of farming tradition to forge a life of her own in one of the world’s fastest-growing cities.
