The Wayback
(VR Film Series)
A small personal project that became HUGE. I helped co-found
The Wayback; a groundbreaking VR film series created to help
people living with dementia relive and remember moments
from their past. Kickstarter funded, the pilot film features 170
volunteer extras and faithfully recreates a street party from the
1953 Coronation.
