Resh was recently interviewed for the Oct 2017 Issue of Creative Review by writer/editor Patrick Burgoyne on Virtual Reality and Storytelling.

“I will never forget it,” says Resh Sidhu of the first time she experienced VR. “It transported me back to being a child again.” We are talking at the offices of Framestore in London, where Sidhu is Creative Director for virtual reality. But it was when she was at agency AKQA that she first encountered VR. AKQA had been among the backers of the original Kickstarter for the Oculus Rift headset.

We ran around the office telling people ‘you’ve got to try this’.”
