For three consecutive years, I attended the Venice Production Bridge as a representative for Meta's Reality Labs Entertainment team, participating in the Venice Immersive Market on Lazzaretto Vecchio Island during the Venice International Film Festival.
I met with creative teams and producers from around the world who were pitching immersive projects — VR, XR, and AR works — seeking gap financing and co-production partnerships through the Venice Gap-Financing Market. These 1-to-1 meetings connected emerging and established immersive storytellers with industry decision-makers, where I evaluated projects to explore alignment with Meta's immersive content ecosystem.
