Okay I think I've experienced as much as I can handle tonight for @sundancefest's #NewFrontier (it's been 45 min). About to post my learnings here to save you some headaches, tho hopefully some of what I've seen are bugs that will be resolved, or just me not knowing what to do 👇
First some compliments: the WebXR experience LOOKS beautiful (especially in VR) and is a lovely way to socialize... when it works. Most of the time I'm in an empty room even though there's a whole bunch of attendees here.

I do like the structure of how the rooms are broken down.
Some big picture framing up front: be in VR here to socialize (newfrontier.sundance.org & enter VR Code that you see on desktop), but don't expect to hop into any Gallery experiences directly. Signing up, downloading, or even setting up Quest view is wkflw best suited for desktop.

The @Sundance Film Festival 2019 is officially kicking off. I'll be in Park City covering the VR/AR pieces in the #NewFrontier program & catching as many documentaries as I can.
Sundance serves as a public square for independent media (over 14k submissions) that's an antidote to shallow clickbait news. Art, culture, community are vital for making sense of what's happening in our world.
The Sundance theme is "Risk Independence." Some of the worst conditions for doing journalism today.
2 Syrian & Iranian filmmakers couldn't get visas because of the Muslim ban.
Sundance also expanded beyond white male critics with 63% of credentials to underrepresented minorities.
