We are witnessing an unprecedented evolution in VR that will lead to new forms of entertainment experiences.

Everyone dreams of the VR cinema of tomorrow but it is clear that porting over the storytelling language of traditional cinema is not the answer. Or is it? How do you tell an emotionally engaging story in VR?

Join a conversation moderated by producer Amit Breuer with trailblazers sharing their discoveries and challenges in producing and engaging audiences in VR: Jason Rubin, Head of Worldwide Studios at Oculus VR, Wolfgang Bergmann, CEO of ARTE Germany, Europe’s largest cultural network who is exploring VR as a content platform to reach audiences, and Thomas Wallner, head of DEEP360, a Toronto company developing tools for VR based cinema.
