Career Opportunities in Organized Crime, the first ever feature-length film shot with 360-degree virtual reality cameras. The film, by first-time filmmaker Alex Oshmyansky and Akibimi Productions, LLC, is a "mocku-mentary" that follows the filming of a recruitment video for the Russian mafia.

According to Oshmyansky, "The film is a an experiment to see what kind of experience a feature-length virtual reality film would be. I'm obviously biased, but I think it turned out great. The film is a whole new kind of cinematic experience that hasn't existed before. We are thrilled to be able to present it at the South by Southwest VR/AR Experience Expo."

The film is set to be released to the general public this spring as an app available for download through smartphones, Samsung Gear VR, and the Oculus Rift VR Headset.  Total run time is 82 mintues.
