Quotes

Robert J. Sexton

  • "VR is defining the future of both shared viewer experiences and storytelling." - The Wall Street Journal interview with Robert J. Sexton
  • Sexton on directing in VR: "We're pioneers in this space. Every piece of content we create forces us to reinvent everything we know about filmmaking and how an audience interacts with a story." Shoot Magazine interview with Robert J. Sexton
  • "Once the mainstream audience understands VR and its potential, that's when the real horror will begin." Robert J. Sexton speaking on the "Virtual Terror: VR Tech and the Horror Industry" Panel
  • "Psycho City, TX (VR) was an study for a proof of concept. How do I tell a story with a beginning, middle and end and have the viewer not look at the floor? How to make them subliminally pay attention to the story while the narrative unfolds....... While experiencing Psycho City, TX the viewer subconsciously acquiesces and is receptive to a new, evolving, cinematic VR experience." - L.A. Weekly interview with Robert J. Sexton
  • "Your brain interprets VR as an event that's happening and remembers it as something real. It's not like watching a TV screen or a movie screen. You're in there, you know, it's a hot environment; your brain is thinking this is real. Thusly, is goes beyond voyeurism; it's traumatic tourism." - L.A. Weekly interview with Robert J. Sexton
  • "In every evolution of audio-visual entertainment, the most gripping and memorable content for audiences centers around a narrative. After the spectacle fades or the gimmicks are worn thin, it always comes back to storytelling. This new opportunity for spinning tales in an immersive environment has arrived, and the audience is hungry for the experience." - San Diego Comic-Con Panel VR in Horror with guest speaker Robert J. Sexton.
