Using Samsung 360 cameras, Contrast VR producer Joi Lee trained the seven first-time filmmakers in immersive shooting so they could share their experiences with the world, both the challenges they face and why they still have hope. Post-production was completed by Contrast VR’s Maria Fernanda Lauret. The films are a part of Contrast VR’s ongoing initiative “My People, Our Stories,” a project to train and equip young, diverse filmmakers to produce VR storytelling from within their communities. Eighteen-year-old wife and mother Marah, says: “When I first arrived to Za’atari, I didn’t care for anything. But after receiving photography and film training, it became my dream to become a professional filmmaker. I hope with this workshop in 360 video, I can film a great movie about life here in the camp. My message to every young woman in the world is, do not stop dreaming for any reason.”
