Featuring the voice of Always Be My Maybe’s Ali Wong, Bonfire is the latest VR work from Eric Darnell.

Madagascar and Antz director, and founder of the Emmy-winning VR studio Baobab, Eric Darnell is familiar to MIFF audiences thanks to his works Invasion (MIFF 2016) and Crow: The Legend – Chapter 1 (MIFF 2018).

Bonfire brings his trademark sense of humour and fun to a new interactive sci-fi adventure in which you are Space Force Scout 817, sent into the stars to look for a habitable new world. After crash landing on a jungle planet and building a bonfire for warmth, you and Debbie, your trusty robot sidekick (Wong), begin exploring.
