If you’ve been around the immersive festivals this year, chances are you’ve come across Fabito Rychter and Amir Admoni, Brazilian creators whose project LAVRYNTHOS has already had a dozen selections since Venice VR 2021. In 2020, GRAVITY VR has experienced the same success. We met them at the Annecy festival last June.
Fabito Rychter – My first job is as a television scriptwriter. I have worked on different programs or shows for the last 15 years, in Brazil. I moved to Peru before the Covid pandemic, while keeping my job with a large Latin American broadcaster. But I was beginning to see the limits of this job, alone in a foreign country when I was used to writing rooms and working in a team! One day, I tried a virtual reality experience in a shopping mall, and it changed my life! I did it several times, bought a headset and then quit. Our first two projects were done remotely, as Amir lived in Brazil and I in Peru.
