Need some great VR content? Sure, you can hire a production

company to make a video or two. But why not engage a

whole community of filmmakers to create your content and

enjoy the benefits of extraordinary social media exposure?

There’s a reason we shattered KODAK’s previous social media

engagement recods. Because what we do is innovative and

based in building opportunities. Because it works.

Feel free to contact us for some creative brainstorming

around our innovative VR opportunity.”
