Mr. Kite has released the bran new trailer for the VR film GLIMPSE, which is currently screening at the Venice Film Festival and available to watch at select satellite venues around the world.
The animated short, written and directed by the Irish filmmaking duo of Academy Award winner Benjamin Cleary and VR creator Michael O’Connor, stars Taron Egerton and Lucy Boynton and features an original score by Julianna Barwick.
GLIMPSE is a highly emotive, visual feast set in the imaginative mind of a heartbroken panda named Herbie (Egerton), who has recently broken up with his deer girlfriend Rice (Boynton). Herbie is an illustrator and through his art we delve back through the memories of his relationship from the heart-breaking end to the beautiful beginning.
