Guns, mobsters, and virtual reality: 360-degree film directed by radiologist

Career Opportunities in Organized Crime is a new 360-degree film directed by radiologist Alex Oshmyansky, MD, PhD. It is one of the first—possibly even the first—feature length virtual reality film.

The movie is a “mockumentary,” meaning it’s a comedy presented as a real documentary. The action is scripted, but the viewer is asked to watch as if everything is live and actually taking place.

Oshmyansky also runs Akibimi Productions, the production company behind the film.
