Look through my eyes from rise to fall...

The expression “overstay” itself stands for the penalty one has to pay in case of remaining in a certain country longer than the visa permits.

"This I call a fuckin' MASTERPIECE..."

PRODUCTION

OVERSTAY is one of the first 360° POV arthouse movies in the world. Especially its intimate and unique narrative style made it a milestone production for understanding the power of immersive video. To achieve this extraordinary intimacy, author and director Rico Chibac constructed a superlight hat-mount with 4 manipulated GoPros attached to it. He broke out the original lenses and installed fisheye lenses from Taiwan.

With this self-made construction he was able to capture close and emotional 360° video images like no one had ever seen before.

"Overstay drags you deep into the rabbit hole
of ups and downs, desires and fears, life and death."
