The Nest Collective / Jim Chuchu

Let This Be A Warning, 2017

VR experience for Mobile VR

Synopsis:

A group of Africans have left the Earth to create a colony on a distant planet. They respond with disquiet to the arrival of an uninvited guest.

 

Filmmakers note:

Let This Be A Warning was a response to the idea of 'black worlds', and how accessible they have always been to outside parties both in fiction and reality. In this piece, we posit a black world in which access is not a given.
