"Unseen" | A Virtual Reality Experience | 2017-Current
Emilyann has contributed her creativity and know-how to the very important topic of human trafficking. Her work includes helping research, storyboard, script, edit and produce “Unseen”, a Virtual Reality experience to raise awareness about the issue. The experience launched at RiverRun Film Festival and has been featured at the World Without Exploitation convening in Washington D.C. and NGO Commission on the Status of Women. It won the Cannes World Film Festival Best VR short and has been featured in several international film festivals.
Emilyann has traveled with her company to speak about her role in “Unseen” at South Carolina’s first Trafficking Youth Advocacy Summit, put on by the District Attorney’s office several summers ago, and more recently
leveraged her role as Miss Johnson County to present on the topic to youth who really resonated with her message. She has demonstrated exemplary leadership with this initiative, as well as through her participation in a number of social/environmental community initiatives. Emilyann consistently looks to expand and leverage her knowledge on how to use film and immersive media (virtual/augmented reality) for social good.
