Social Impact Storytelling in Virtual Reality

Her story of becoming an undercover journalist with Project Veritas, an organization dedicated to exposing cases of corruption and power abuse, and became a spokesperson for an anti-human trafficking organization Fair Girls.

In 2015, she founded her own production company, Bastet Films.

While finding creative fulfillment, Aleszea was also in search of a way to combat corruption and begin her role as an activist.  She trained as an undercover journalist with Project Veritas, an organization dedicated to exposing corruption and abuse of power.

Perhaps her most personal activist effort to date, Aleszea wrote and produced her first short VR film in 2018, entitled Come Into Me.  An interactive VR film about human trafficking in the United States, Come Into Me incorporates multiple visual perspectives and real testimonials from trafficking survivors and sex offenders as portions of the dialogue.
