We Met in Virtual Reality - Exclusive Official Trailer (2022) Joe Hunting

Filmed entirely inside the world of virtual reality (VR), this immersive and revealing documentary roots itself in several unique communities within VR Chat, a burgeoning virtual reality platform. Through observational scenes captured in real-time, in true documentary style, the film reveals the growing power and intimacy of several relationships formed in the virtual world, many of which began during the COVID-19 lockdown while so many in the physical world were facing intense isolation. Although remaining wholly within the VR domain of avatars and imagined worlds, the film has elements of humor, serendipitous interactions and unexpected events that characterize real life. We Met in Virtual Reality tenderly documents the stories of people experiencing love, loss and unexpected connection, expressing vulnerability around mental health struggles and questions about identity, offering a hyper-real journey into the human experience of an online world that may soon shape the future. The film follows Jenny, an American Sign Language (ASL) teacher, dedicated to building a welcoming community for deaf and hard of hearing VR Chat users, and two long distance couples growing their relationships in VR as they prepare to meet physically - DustBunny; a fitness dance instructor building a career in social VR dance classes and her partner, Toaster; and DragonHeart; IsYourBoi, a couple who met through an exotic VR dance community where they are both performers. HBO Documentary Films’ We Met in Virtual Reality, from director Joe Hunting, debuts July 27 (9:00-10:35 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. We Met in Virtual Reality had its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and is Hunting’s feature directorial debut.

As someone who knows what Vrchat is like, this must have been hell to film lol

[alexx]

They missed the part where they all stare at mirrors for hours, get crashed, or hear racial slurs from children.

[stonk]

Can't wait to see the Ugandan Knuckles episode

[YocasFilmz]

Will we be able to actually buy the documentary itself in case we miss the day it streams? Seemed like there was no other way to watch it if we missed the premiere earlier this year.

[Grunglor]

[cassylk]

Aren't there whole YouTube channels dedicated to this kind of thing?

If you use vrchat instead of going out IRL you're beyond salvation my friend.
