A two- city simultaneous demonstration of storytelling technology. Ferryman Collective takes us all on a VR journey using technologies that will reshape the stories we make.
We are staging a synchronized, multi-venue theatrical presentation of our EMMY award-winning, hour-long storytelling experience and educational panel about how these projects are made. A live actor and two audience participants will be on-stage at a physical venue in Los Angeles, while a matching trio takes the stage simultaneously in Silicon Valley / San Francisco. All six participants will enter the exact same shared virtual reality world, interacting in real time for a live physical audience in both cities and a global audience via Zoom.

This is an In-Person Event.
You must register with EventBrite to attend either of the two locations of this event. Registration will be open soon.
