Catherine Hardwicke revisits her unmade project in this VR documentary episode, one stalled by Hollywood studios. Part of a five-episode indie series, it uses volumetric capture to let filmmakers like her narrate key movie elements and production roadblocks. Viewers stand to watch the 11-minute piece, exploring cinema history through directors' insights.
This casual VR experience offers independent episodes viewable in any order. It spotlights creators such as Abel Ferrara, Tsai Ming-Liang, Lee Myung-Se, and Naomi Kawase alongside Hardwicke. Fans of documentary storytelling in virtual reality find a focused look into unproduced films.
The director revisits this project which excited her so much and which became, because of the reluctance of the Hollywood studios, one of these umpteenth "ghosts of the garage".
MISSING PICTURES is a 5-part documentary series in VR that brings to life unmade films. Shot in volumetric capture, the filmmakers Abel Ferrara, Tsai Ming-Liang, Catherine Hardwicke, Lee Myung-Se and Naomi Kawase narrate to us some key points of the movie and why it was never made.
