"When a woman wakes up one morning to find that a mysterious tent has appeared in her front yard, she’s not sure what to do about it…"
THE TENT is an Augmented Reality Story that takes place on your kitchen table. IT IS NOT A GAME, IT IS AN EXPERIENCE. Premiering at SXSW '24, it has toured the world on the festival circuit and is now available in this special version to experience on your table at home.
A modern fairy tale set in Los Angeles, "The Tent" looks at the fraught relationship between the housed and the unhoused and the interpersonal social dynamics of activism with humor and heart.
Built using volumetric video and photogrammetry, it allows the audience to explore a miniature world from any perspective, creating a movie that you can walk around in.
It’s a drama, a satire, a petite bourgeoise fever dream and a fable for society.
This is Part 1 and is 12 minutes long. Part 2 is in a separate app and is 11 minutes long. (There is a link to Part 2 inside this app as well)
