Film schools will spend the summer anticipating what a fall semester trying to shoot student films will look like amid a pandemic. Hollywood, meanwhile, is trying to establish new production protocols for the industry, but what works for Hollywood may not necessarily work for all students. Universities across the country will have the added complication of trying to juggle those demands, while also educating remotely or in socially distant conditions. Each college has its own challenges depending on its size, location and access to technology. “We want to give the students the opportunity that they would get and that they paid for,” Henry Grillo, the interim dean for the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (Uncsa) said. “We have to walk a balance between what we feel is the smart way to do production and being certain that we don’t deny students that opportunity they have hoped to have.

The Media and Emerging Technology Lab (Metl) in the School of Filmmaking at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts has created a new immersive storytelling residency. The program will highlight a collaborative approach to creating virtual reality, augmented reality or mixed reality (Vr/Ar/Mr) content, all emerging and growing fields in the media space.
Three residents – a software engineer, a technical artist and a storyteller – will work together for six months to create immersive content that furthers the artistic medium of storytelling. The team will collaborate to generate, develop, iterate and refine one concept. The residency culminates in a product ready to be launched into the world of immersive art and technology via submission to film festivals and online platforms. Applications are intended for professionals and students from undergraduate or graduate programs, although all can apply.
