Our second VR short, "a kite’s tale," will make its world debut at @SIGGRAPH 2019! This experimental short film, directed by Bruce Wright, combines hand-drawn animation and the latest VR technology to tell a whimsical tale of two kites. pic.twitter.com/QQkStssS4q

Here’s a little description of the short via yahoo:

“a whimsical tale of two kites: a playful puppy (with a wagging tail) and a pompous dragon who clash, tangle, and ultimately must learn to live with one another subject to the winds of fate.”

The film is directed by Bruce Wright, who has previously worked on the Disney shorts Tangled Ever After, Paperman, and Cycles. This sounds like it will be really cool. I had never even heard of this convention before, but it sounds like it would be really interesting to attend! Do you have a VR set? Does this sound like something you’d be into?
