REAL (World Premiere)
DIR. CONNOR HAIR
US | 13 Min | 180 VR Video
Consumed by Virtual Reality addiction, a woman clings to the digitally reconstructed memory of her dead husband. As the lines of reality blur, she begins to question which world is real. The film is shot partially in 3D 180 degree view and partially in 2D. The format dynamically switches from 2D to 3D when the main character puts on her virtual reality goggles. This allows the viewer to see the virtual world through her eyes and creates a one of a kind cinematic experience.

ARTIST BIO
CONNOR HAIR
Connor Hair is a writer, director and award winning cinematographer. After working as a cinematographer on six feature length projects, Connor shifted his focus toward directing virtual reality experiences. His in depth knowledge of camera technology and prior experience directing shorts allowed for a confident transition into this new artform. In 2015 he directed two short films for virtual reality. The first, titled “Real”, is now doing its festival run and will be released as an app on the Oculus store in early 2016. “Real” was his first venture into virtual reality filmmaking and was an experiment in telling stories in this new medium. The second, titled “En Pointe” was selected as a winner of Samsung’s “There in 60 Seconds” contest and was required to run only 60 seconds in 360-degree VR. Connor is constantly experimenting with immerging technology and has a passion for telling stories in unique and innovative ways.
