The Inside Story
Executive Producer, Zillah Watson, tells us about the project
Can you sum up the project for us?
The Resistance of Honey is an experiment to see how a 360° documentary can give you a deeper understanding of someone else’s world. In this film you enter the bee hut and beehive of Urban beekeeper Byoni Samp. What makes this world unique is that Byoni makes music from his bees.
It is being shown at film festivals around the world, including IDFA and The Festival of Future Storytelling. It has also been used for ground-breaking audience studies.
Who made the project and why?
It was created by BBC R&D, BBC NewsLabs and Middlesex University to develop advanced storytelling and film-making techniques in 360 virtual reality. It was directed by film-maker Peter Boyd Maclean as part of our bigger project exploring new ways of making films in 360° .
