The franchise’s first installment, a VR experience based on a story by Maja Bodenstein, won the 2023 Tribeca Storyscapes Award and the Raindance Discovery Award. The series is currently nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Emerging Media category.
The podcast is directed by Eloise Singer and narrated by Liu. Episode one debuts September 10 on all major podcast platforms and features an exclusive interview with Liu.
