MAYFLOWER REFLECTIONS

360 VR SHORT FILM

Mayflower Reflections is a VR film that explores the momentous story of the Mayflower voyage of 1620 and its contemporary parallels to modern migration. Mayflower Reflections looks back at our past to question how we can make positive changes for our future.

THE PROJECT

Through the use of 360° video and VR Mayflower Reflections takes you on a journey from the English churches of the 1600’s to the deck of the Mayflower Ship and the early settlements of the Plymouth Colony.

This virtual exploration transcends boundaries, offering a unique perspective on the shared human experience of migration.

With unifying themes that explore the world in which we live, it is a reminder of the struggles of the past, an overview of our present, and a chance to imagine a brighter future.

Mayflower Reflections isn't just a film; it's an opportunity to connect with our collective history and contemplate the future we want to shape. Join us on this virtual voyage, and let the echoes of the past guide us towards a more compassionate and understanding future.
