Mária Rakušanová got her start in the VR industry in 2014 when she was a product marketer for the Gear VR at Samsung. Her job meant that she would watch a lot of immersive content that she would use to market this stand-alone, mobile VR headset. In 2016, she started curating immersive work for the Raindance Immersive section of the Raindance Film Festival, which has always had a distinctly independent selection. The 2020 edition of Raindance Immersive marks her fifth year of curating the best-of works from the year, and it features over 50 hours of content.
