Sundance premiere Luz explores how VR can help us find connection in the real world

We're so used to seeing virtual reality depicted nefariously in films like The Matrix, Virtuousity (a forgotten '90s classic) and The Lawnmower Man, it's genuinely surprising to see something that treats VR in a potentially positive way. In Flora Lau's Luz, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this week, there’s no major downside to VR, it’s just another way for humans to connect. And in the case of the film's two lonely leads, art gallery worker

Show HN: Simple to build MCP servers that easily connect with custom LLM calls
