EVENT SUMMARY
Tribeca Film Festival 2018 showcased more VR content than ever before. In addition to the versatile experiences made available at the VR Arcade, WeLens was tasked with coordinating and facilitating the festival’s immersive theater - Cinema360.
Over the course of 8 days, Cinema360 screened eight 30-40 minute VR programs at the top of every hour for audiences of 20 per screening. The curated selection came from the minds of Oculus’ VR for Good team, ConditionOne, Terrence Malick, among many other talented creators.
MY ROLE
I worked directly with the Tribeca Immersive program directors to execute their vision for the festival’s first ever immersive cinema. I managed an inventory restock, communicated and built relationships directly with all of the selected filmmakers, and put together a team of 10 to manage eight screenings each day.
