Ed Davis has a new 3D/VR180 short film on www.amazevr.com "The Door" which drags the viewer inside the story, mixes objectivity/subjectivity like in dreams.
"Not since the Lumiere brothers drove a train at a stampeding audience has a film thrust it's viewers into this level of immersive displacement. Finally, we have taken a second step into a brave, new cinema." Miles Buckingham - WFS Film Handler
“Surreal. Like sitting in the cockpit of someone else’s head.” Rhian Sheehan - Screen composer
“I was in a world where every sense I thought I could control was lost to me. This film by Ed Davis is powerful new form of cinema that breaks all the boundaries and puts the viewer dead centre in the story that unfolds in their head.” Will Moore - Film Maker.
"Bloody brilliant! Takes you on a trippy immersive journey into the belly of a dark and strange beast." Sam Buys - Weta Digital

This project would not have been the same without the spirit of Rock Legend, multi-instrumentist, actor, playwright, novelist & poet Bill Direen, Sound and Music Composer for "Like an Octopus by its Own Ink Erased".

"Feeding the Spirit of People... The first thing that strikes you - before the voice, the songs, the poetry, the music - is the face. Long and thin from brow to chin, large nose and ears, tight mouth, sad soulful eyes. Bill Direen is one fascinating looking cat. He holds your attention in every frame of a new documentary by Auckland filmmaker Simon Ogston"...

His prolific and rich collection of songs (& the Bilders) can be found on line.
A first selection here amongst 400 :
