Premiering online and at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah next week, Reality of Hope is a short documentary depicting two friends who first meet in VRChat's large furry community --- and after a medical crisis emerges, the friendship deepens into real life in a surprising and powerful way. It's directed by Joe Hunting, whose last VRChat-based documentary was picked up by HBO in 2022.
You can watch the movie online here between January 30 and February 5 here and/or if you're at Sundance, reserve a ticket.
Side question: As in the trailer above, I've noticed many people in VRChat will refer to being in "virtual reality" versus specifying VRChat itself, and I'm not quite sure why. Something to explore in another post!
