"Philip K. Dick's wonderfully forward-thinking stories have always felt primed for telling in equally forward-thinking mediums," Secret Location co-founder Ryan Andal said in a statement. "Pairing 'The Great C's' provocative themes with our VR development prowess is helping us redefine how we consume sci-fi stories."

We are excited to announce that our cinematic #VR narrative, The Great C, will have its world premiere at the 75th Venice International Film Festival. A special thanks to the @CMF_FMC for supporting this project. #BiennaleCinema2018 @la_Biennale https://t.co/73L3Z8tZZl — Secret Location (@secretlocation) July 25, 2018

While this may be the first VR adaptation of one of Philip K. Dick's stories, the author himself was the subject of a VR film called I, Philip. In the short, viewers are put inside the mind of Phil, an android recreation of the author.

After its Venice Film Festival premiere, The Great C will be released at select location-based VR venues in September. The film will then be available on Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Playstation VR.
