FIGH BACK VR – MARKETING

Fight Back VR Marketing Manager

FIGHT BACK VR by WE COVEN, Venice 2022

Fight Back VR is a virtual reality experience with hand-tracking that, under the premise of saving the stars and fighting the shadows, teaches self-defense methods. Created by Céline Tricart , premiered at the Venice Film Festival 2022 and released on Meta App Lab on March 8th 2023.


Through the Women in VR Facebook group, I had the privilege of assuming the role of marketing manager for a groundbreaking virtual reality (VR) experience slated to be showcased at the prestigious Venice Film Festival in 2022. The FIGHT BACK VR project represents a remarkable fusion of VR technology, video game mechanics, and hand-tracking innovation, culminating in a captivating narrative that unveils the empowering journeys of women who have championed the advancement of self-defense knowledge.

Under the cover of a thrilling and fun adventure with hand tracking enabled, “FIGHT BACK VR” is an introduction to self defense techniques as an answer to gender-based violence.
