All Unsaved Progress Will Be Lost

All Unsaved Progress Will Be Lost is a melancholic journey through a ghost town made of concrete and fog, based on the testimony of a woman who refused to evacuate her hometown village after a terrible disaster. The explanation on what the story is based on is only revealed at the very end, thus creating tension throughout the experience. The unnamed threat remains inexplicably imminent, allowing the viewer to project their own personal fears.

I believe this project is my favorite so far. Working almost completely alone on this for weeks was a pretty intense process, but allowed me to bring a particular care to the atmosphere. I’ve been creating with Virtual Reality since 2015 and this is my very first work with a documentary dimension. Towards the end of the production and by sheer coincidence, terrible events related to war (I can’t say too much without spoiling the content) happened then and brought attention back to the subject I am addressing in this project. Everything became very vivid.
I hope to bring a new perspective and I am convinced that using virtual reality is the right medium to tell this story, in part due to its strong capacity of immersion which facilitates the empathy process.
