About_
In 2012, we (two broke graphic design students) created Sight as our graduation project from Bezalel academy of arts in Israel. Sight explored thought provoking themes such as gamification, free will and morality in a world where augmented reality and AI is the new norm.
We LOVE films and video games. SIGHT was heavily influenced by both.
Reception_
When we uploaded Sight online, we weren't really ready for what that followed - The film quickly became a viral hit. A couple million views later, it was featured in major publications and starred in many festivals. It became a cult classic for Augmented Reality and AI fans around the world. Our inbox started getting flooded with emails with questions about Sight and our future plans for it - people wanted to see more. That's when the dream to turn Sight into a longer film was born.
