Thank you for highlighting our documentary @vrchat.com. I can't wait for you all to see this film in 2025 at #Sundance film festival soon!

#Sundance2025 has been absolutely incredible!
The premiere of The Reality of Hope was a tremendous success, and I couldn’t be prouder of our team and the amazing community that made this possible.

Being with hiyu at Sundance has been such an incredible experience
Two years ago I reached out to help a friend in need. It's incredible that it's led to this

The REALITY OF HOPE short doc is premiering at Sundance, and it tells the story of a VRChat friendship that lead to donating a kidney. I spoke to @joeahunting.bsky.social & @maxfilmsvr.com about the beautiful story of @photographotter.bsky.social & @hiyu.bsky.social:

These two amazing people will forever be connected in more ways than one. What an adorable video. 🥰

In the most cosmic of fortuitous circumstances, I ran into @hiyu.bsky.social at LGA! I wish he, @maxfilmsvr.com, @photographotter.bsky.social, and everyone else a fantastic time at Sundance!

I love the Internet

After 9 months apart, @hiyu.bsky.social and @photographotter.bsky.social are finally reunited ❤️ for the premiere of our story at the Sundance Film Festival.
