It was a pleasure to meet and work with indie film maker Avril Furness, writer and director of VR Film Last Moments, produced with Framestore Pictures, VISYON, freelance designers from immersive theatre company Punchdrunk and Grand Central Sound Studios,

The VR film: Shot at Bristol Museum’s 2015/16 exhibition: ‘death: the human experience’ in a replica of a room at Dignitas Switzerland, The Last Moments is an interactive docudrama film that allows the viewer to experience an assisted suicide and either end their life or carry on living.

The choice the viewer makes directly impacts the outcome of the film and also allows for choices to be polled to help spark debate on this sensitive issue.
