“For VR to hit big with consumers, we need to have a customer meeting point where consumers can easily try virtual reality forDEV-401 the first time. And for VR to really be applicable for the mass population, it needs to be able to give people the value of time and space. It can really help to lift time and space limitations and create brand new experiences.”
DONG IL DILLON SEO, CEO, VOLER CREATIVE

“Hip hop is one of the best genres to set trends, because the idea of hip hop is to show that you are cool based upon what you wear and who you are. And it’s about having 100 % confidence in all of that. If hip hop artists collaborate with fashion brands and people see it, that’s where the trends begin.”
FLOWSIK, HIP HOP ARTIST

“Beyond money, the most important investments in collaboration are time and effort. Before you jump into the van, sit down and look at what collaboration really means. And when you start, treat your partners as equals. I’ve noticed that India and some of the other Asian countries are still treated as the little brother, and that is just not really helpful in any kind of project.”
PREETI GAONKAR, FOUNDER, DIRECTOR, NOTHING REGULAR

“When going into co-productions you need to be properly motivated, have a true yearning to work with other countries. Don’t just do it for the money.”
