Synopsis
Immaculate Virtual is a film essay contemplating the nature of reality, the body, and intimacy in the complicated space where technology and humanity blend. The work is a culmination of writing, research, and obsessive documentation, manifesting as a euphoric tribute to the digital and a manic depiction of the film maker's ambiguous relationship with the virtual.
