Nora Kirkpatrick, writer/director of Door #1 on Hulu

We talk all things immersive comedy with Nora Kirkpatrick, writer/director of the brand new, first of its kind live action VR comedy Door #1 on Hulu. Nora is a longtime writer, actress, and musician, appearing in TV shows like Greek and The Office while also being one of the first creators to venture into exploring immersive comedy with the episodic Hulu VR series Virtually Mike and Nora along with SNL alum Mike O’Brien. As an interactive experience, Door #1 is a groundbreaking adventure exploring what it’s like to be the protagonist controlling the storyline — from rekindling your relationship with an old high school flame to smoking with Snoop Dogg… in space. Nora opens up about the process of developing the branching narrative, how creating in VR can be compared to traditional media like 2D film/TV or theatre, and what she’s learned about creating comedic content with 360° video — https://www.hulu.com/door-1
