Director Statement

“I wanted to give Katya fans new VR cinema that doesn’t compromise on fidelity or aesthetics. “Be Your Own Dentist” is unique because it was shot with the same kind of sophisticated 3D camera that is used to create the high fidelity 3D experiences of Ready Player One and Marvel movies, but now these images have been projected into a 360 environment and integrated with beautiful CGI worlds to create an immersive and truly cinematic experience. I wanted it to feel like being inside a movie, like a movie in a theater, not a video.”
