CYBERCITY LOVESTORY
2094. Humanity lives divided. Young impulsive Mars inhabitant ELAINE ZOLA (15) has never felt connected to her orderly Mars community on the faraway planet. When she suddenly finds herself inside a retro virtual reality game and meets KEVIN KORNER (17), a cybercriminal from Earth, they form an unlikely bond that transcends youthful failure and innocent love in order to gain ultimate freedom.
Cybercity Lovestory is a transmedia series combining live action TV and a VR-game experience. The pilot was shot in 2022 and is currently in post production. This was a full studio production with more than 8 different sets that were exclusively built for this pilot shoot, including two sets that included a virtual production workflow. I had the luck to work with a great VFX department and an amazing production designer, as well as two very talented operators, as this was a two camera show.
