Glimpse

Are you captivated by the transformative power of VR storytelling? Do you seek experiences that not only entertain but also deeply move you? If 'The Line' and 'Gloomy Eyes' resonated with your soul, prepare for a journey that transcends these realms.

Step into the heartwrenchingly beautiful immersive animation Glimpse, a short interactive animation of 25 minutes which draws on the power of cinema and the uniqueness of VR storytelling to unravel the story of a breakup... avoidable or unavoidable, that's up to you to decide.

ABOUT

Meet Herbie, a passionate panda dreaming to become an artist. His muse and life love is Rice, a deer with an optimistic but cyncial view on the world. The perfect couple... until they aren't.

We join Herbie, holed up in his music studio, feeling all the intensity of his heartbreak. To make sense of it all, dip back into the deepest memories Herbie and Rice made together. The cosmic connection, that for some reason or another couldn't work, for better or worse.



A cathartic animation to bring you all the feels, to share with your loved ones, and to appreciate the universality of relationships ending. Better to have loved and loss than to never have loved at all... You think it's cliché? Maybe. But before asserting it, see for yourself with the bittersweet romance of Herbie and Rice. A perfect life planned together, that somehow with ego and misunderstanding all falls apart. All in a glimpse.

From a love story to a breakup, from artistic dreams to disillusions, Glimpse is a VR experience starring Taron Egerton (Rocketman) as Herbie and Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody) as Rice, presented by Mr Kite and directed by Academy Award winning writer/director Benjamin Cleary and VR creator Michael O’Connor.

Produced by:
MR KITE // ALBYON // ELECTRIC SKIES

GLIMPSE premiered at Venice Film Festival in 2021, and since then has been showcased at recognized festivals around the world including Tribeca, Annecy, Cannes XR, Stereopsia and more.
