Into the Neural Forest VR180

Journey through the birth of an idea with Dance Film SF’s new Virtual Reality Co-Laboratory film INTO THE NEURAL FOREST. Drawing from Capacitor’s full-evening live performance work “Synaptic Motion”, this five minute film delves into the process of creating the 2019 VR dance film Into the Neural Forest - a collaboration between Capacitor’s Director/Choreographer/Sculptor Jodi Lomask and Adobe’s Director of Photography Bhautik Joshi. We took the strengths of what makes VR a unique medium – intimacy, emotion, immersion – and used these as guiding principles to create a powerful voyage through the birth of an idea.

Performance by Linda Steele II, Lydia Clinton, Micah Walters, Dacia Biletnikoff, Ismael Acosta, Elliott Gittelsohn, Maggie Powers, and Coral Martin. Special FX by John Fesenko, Ryan Lotz, and Bhaut
