Tomorrow, our friends at How To Create VR will be doing a live ask-me-anything (AMA) event with Brett Leonard, director of The Lawnmower Man, a 1992 science-fiction film centered around the use of virtual reality (VR). The interview will cover VR, Leonard’s film career, and how he used VR as the conceit of a film in the 90’s.

Join us for a really fun evening with Brett Leonard, the director of The Lawnmower Man and Virtuosity, a futurist, a highly successful filmmaker and currently working on a hybrid 360 and “flatty” film, Hollywood Rooftop.
