Supporting pioneering filmmakers redefining narrative storytelling through immersive media.

The XR Film Fund for Immersive Storytelling champions visionary filmmakers adapting theatrical and cinematic storytelling for immersive media like VR, AR, XR, and MR. We’re seeking scripted fiction projects that fully embrace the narrative and experiential potential of spatial storytelling. From deeply emotional dramas to genre-bending thrillers, this fund supports bold voices exploring the future of cinematic experience.
