In 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were abducted by aliens. An interracial couple in rural New Hampshire, theirs was the first widely reported claim of UFO abduction in America. Later, they sought hypnosis in an effort to understand their experience. Dinner Party uses VR to recount their story in a fresh and imaginative way, as husband and wife listen to recordings of their hypnosis sessions over dinner.

Written by Laura Wexler and Charlotte Stoudt (House of Cards, Homeland) and directed by Angel Manuel Soto, Dinner Party is both a distinctive allegory of race in America and a thrilling use of VR.
