"Immersed is Canada's premiere gathering of creative and technology VR and immersive minds. Geneva Film Co. is very excited about bringing ideas and creativity to the next immersive platform - 360 3D.

Jaunt and New Deal Studios will showcase the cutting edge of storytelling with Jaunt's 360-degree, stereoscopic cinematic VR capture and display technology. Viewers will be "inside" the action with "The Mission," a WWII rescue mission film directed by Matthew Gratzner, complete with Tanks, pyrotechnics, firefights and close combat; "Black Mass," a horror vignette from Gregory Plotkin, Director of the Paranormal Activity movie; and "Kaiju Fury," from Ian Hunter, featuring a massive scale city torn to shreds by rampaging Kaiju. New Deal Studios' work is also seen in the "Interstellar" movie.
