Virtual reality is a technology that could actually allow you to connect on a real human level, soul-to-soul, regardless of where you are in the world.
From Chris Milk
It connects humans to other humans in a profound way that I've never seen before in any other form of media. And it can change people's perception of each other. And that's how I think virtual reality has the potential to actually change the world.
Virtual reality is the 'ultimate empathy machine.' These experiences are more than documentaries. They're opportunities to walk a mile in someone else's shoes.
I was born into a world in which the most compelling stories are through film. But that wasn't always the case. Everything changes; everything evolves.
My premise is that there's something hardwired into our DNA, that we as a species came and evolved from caves and clans and tribes, and therefore, we as a species care more about the things that are local to us than we care about the things that are 'over there' from us.
For a long time, I believed that a great piece of music on its own could do more to stir the soul than any other single art form.
Virtual reality started for me in sort of an unusual place. It was the 1970s. I got into the field very young: I was seven years old. And the tool that I used to access virtual reality was the Evel Knievel stunt cycle.
I didn't want to be a storyteller when I grew up; I wanted to be stuntman.
Film is this incredible medium that allows us to feel empathy for people that are very different than us and worlds completely foreign from our own.
We build camera rigs tailored specifically to the story we're trying to tell or the shot we're trying to capture.
