How to view The Crossing in 360°:
As part of our Stories That Matter for Teens online event we’re proud to share The Crossing, Kulkirta Kilkurtin, a film by Director Will King based on the life of Uncle Rob Lowe, shot with a 360-degree camera. Designed to be viewed with a virtual reality headset, you can still view the film in 360° on YouTube. As you watch this film you will notice a transparent compass like icon on your screen. Hover your mouse on this icon and by clicking on the down/up and left/right arrows you will be able to pan the viewpoint to scan the scene you are watching from every angle.
