Shot entirely for Apple Vision Pro, this project as a creation of both visual and sonic expression by director
@jakeoleson , commissioned by
@vimeo . If you find yourself with an “AVP” then check out this short on the new Vimeo App. A limited 2D and rectangular viewing experience can’t compare to the full immersive experience of interacting with it but just a taste for now.
Immersive filmmaking offers entirely new depths to storytelling that I haven’t encountered in traditional film. When used with intention, I believe this medium has the power to move people and foster empathy in truly impactful ways.
Currents follows a young woman struggling to balance her rural roots with a new life in Ho Chi Minh City, inspired by conversations with young Vietnamese navigating this journey. It was crafted with the incredible
@booncha.studio and
@krisoi.s , whose tireless dedication along with the amazing local cast and crew elevated this project to a whole new level.
