About project
In November 2018, guests of the largest CIS science fiction festival "Starcon" were shown a teaser for the new Russian horror movie "Dawn." This teaser was filmed by order of the film company "Force Media" in virtual reality format.
"Force Media" used not only traditional means but also virtual reality technologies to promote its new films. This demonstrates the film industry's interest in the possibilities of VR and, most importantly, furthers the development of virtual cinema itself.
The film's plot touches on the theme of lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis. The main character's older brother dies under mysterious circumstances. Immediately after that, she starts to experience extremely realistic nightmares. The girl goes to a sleep research institute, where she and other patients are immersed in a collective lucid dream. However, after waking up, they all find themselves in a reality that is scarier than any nightmare.
