The Nest Collective / Jim Chuchu
Let This Be A Warning, 2017
VR experience for Mobile VR
Synopsis:
A group of Africans have left the Earth to create a colony on a distant planet. They respond with disquiet to the arrival of an uninvited guest.
Filmmakers note:
Let This Be A Warning was a response to the idea of 'black worlds', and how accessible they have always been to outside parties both in fiction and reality. In this piece, we posit a black world in which access is not a given.
