OTHER PEOPLE’S TROUBLE
Most of us would walk away if they saw a trouble happening. Will you do it now? The film is comprised of the three novellas bounded by the current issues of the urban society: separation, lack of social unity, lack of communication and compassion. By immersing yourself into this VR film you are confronted with a question, Should I do something or should I stay in my comfort zone? You are the one to choose. The project is aimed at increasing social awareness and empathy.
