Production company Clever Fox has released its first original immersive narrative short film, Last Man Standing, and while it’s not the first horror experience in virtual reality, it does break new ground. Curious? We have the details of how you can check it out on littlstar.com.
From the Press Release:
Last Man Standing puts viewers at ground zero of the zombie apocalypse in full 360-degree immersion. The short film, directed by Clever Fox’s Chief Creative Officer Dekker Dreyer, stars actor Phil Morris, known for his roles as superhero Martian Manhunter on “Smallville” and the voice of villain Vandal Savage in the animated “Justice League: Doom.” Special makeup FX work is by Todd Masters of Masters FX, John Wrightson, and Roland Blancaflor.
2016 Will be the year that consumer virtual reality headsets become mainstream, and audiences are looking for cinematic content. Dreyer, who recently spoke on the TV Academy’s Inside VR 2015 panel, believes that immersive storytelling is ready for the next level.
“There’s not a lot of people who are making narrative immersive films. There’s a lot of experimentation going on and you see incredible ‘experience’ content that has you standing on the top of mountains or being ringside at a boxing match, but there isn’t much scripted story-driven material. As a filmmaker, I’m excited by that, and I’m very proud that Clever Fox is joining that shortlist of creators making original scripted projects.”
“Genre entertainment is great for VR because it transports you to another world. As creators you don’t have to be concerned with absolute realism, and the audience can experience the heightened emotions of being inside this hyper-real fantasy world. With Last Man Standing, we wrapped that experience in a traditional narrative and built on that with this great performance by Phil [Morris],” says Clever Fox CEO Julia Howe.
The film is available now at littlstar.com/clever-fox and can be viewed in your desktop browser, on your mobile device, and in all popular VR headsets via the Littlstar App.
