THE CURIOUS LIFE OF BILL MONT / 360º video
While preparing for a winter formal at Northwood, a senior living center in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Bill Mont, an 89-year-old self-made entrepreneur, reminisces about his life, including his most recent venture – sending people’s ashes to the moon. As he ruminates on love and loss, as well as his entrepreneurial projects and acquisitions, in a 9 minute 360º virtual cinema film, we experience what it’s like to have fun while aging!
This 360º video film was produced in partnership with Tertulia Pictures with the support of Oculus’ VR For Good. Co-directed and co-produced with Katrina Sorrentino.
