Elle King is a bluesy-rocker with a high-tech streak. In 2016, she created a virtual reality film called Up Close and Personal, which we screened to a crowd at Samsung 837. The short film, shot using the Samsung Gear 360 Camera, is true to its name: King opens up, sharing her struggles with body image and her path to self-acceptance. After the screening, the audience removed their Samsung Gear VR headsets and King took the stage IRL.
To increase awareness and sampling, New York partnered with Samsung 837 to help produce, program and promote a series of events purpose-built for different audience segments.
