Dr. Uli Futschik is a 360 filmmaker and co-founder of Koncept VR, a New York City based 360/VR video production company. Uli’s journey started with a Ph.D. in quantum physics before embracing a creative career with the arrival of the latest VR wave. Alongside Joergen Geerds, she co-founded Freedom360 LLC, designing 360 cameras and hardware, and pioneering 360/VR experiences from the very beginning.
With roles spanning producer, director, writer, and more, Uli has been instrumental in numerous successful VR projects. She is particularly drawn to crafting 360/VR documentaries that focus on personal narratives. Koncept VR’s 360 films are part of the official selections in renowned film festivals and received awards such as Webbys and Shortys. Committed to projects with cultural and social impact, Uli explores novel ways of communication and education through XR technologies.

Joergen Geerds is cofounder of Koncept VR. He started his career as Art Director in NYC advertising, changed focus to panoramic photography, and became hooked on 360 video in 2011. In 2012 he patented the first fully spherical 360 camera, and has tirelessly worked since then to develop 360 video into a medium with its own cinematic dialect, as well as building a world-wide community of 360 content creators. His work as 360 director, DP, producer and post-production supervisor has been a major contribution to the success of his company, Koncept VR. Joergen is also a member of the Visual Effects Society (VES)
