she left home to try living as a man, and ultimately came to the realization that she prefers to live as a woman. her parents' actions have no bearing on her actual gender identity.
Overwhelmed by the experience of being able to share a film I created with an IRL film festival audience for the very first time! What a wonderful kickoff to
#RaindanceImmersive
2023!
The in-VR screening of Ulterior Motives will be held a week from tomorrow, stay tuned!
The first VRChat Filmmakers meeting of 2024 will be on Jan 6th at 5pm EST!
This will primarily be a networking/meet-and-greet event with a chance for filmmakers to give introductions and small presentations. Anybody interested in filmmaking/videography in VRC is welcome!

this entire thread is supposed to be talking about cinematography, im just saying Dune is more intentionally well shot than LOTR, if we're comparing storytelling I'd say fellowship of the ring (the best LOTR movie easy) definitely beats it

VRChat should consider implementing a legal integration with something like Bigscreen that is authorized to stream movies in VR. the social activity of watching movies is a crucial and fundamental element of the culture of the platform and should remain so.
I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to sit down with Joe Hunting for an in depth discussion of his

film We Met in Virtual Reality on HBO max. We shared words on capturing humanity, the responsibility of a director, and the future of VRC films.

Very interesting statistics from this study here on love and dating. Note the significant majority of players with a high level of playtime have fallen in love in VR, and a significant majority do not find the physical sex important. This is a cultural shift in romance.

Here's a look at the venue the film will be shown in!
I never expected to cry as much as I did after the last screening. I'm so overwhelmed by the positive response to Ulterior Motives, and so grateful to everyone who came to the screenings or shared their appreciation of the film with me.
This story was mine, now it's yours.
The second VRChat Filmmakers meeting was a huge success! thanks to everyone who came and showed off their work! We will try to make the next one happen sooner than the last, so stay tuned!
To me, this photo from my performance on Sunday represents everything that VR is and can be. 60 people in a circle, each of their avatars expressing a different uniqueness, coming together to share art in a space that couldn't exist in real life: imagination made real.

absolutely unforgettable shot, every time i watch LOTR im stupefied by how bad this looks
it reminds me of like c-tier Christian made for TV movies

but clone wars succeeded by doing lots of weird new shit every week. throw new stuff at the wall and who cares if it sticks or not, just put it out there. but star wars TV post-mando season 1 is just more lore dumps and cameos. clone wars built its lore and stories naturally
Incredible to see Ulterior Motives included in this list of

Due to a long series of unforseen circumstances, Ulterior Motives will not be completed in time for a May release date as planned.
I am hopeful the film will be released in early June.
