The thrill of danger
The Taste for Risk is a transmedia project that includes a documentary and an immersive virtual reality experience. It takes us on a unique encounter with three extraordinary athletes and an immersive exploration of four extreme sports.
Accomplished and renowned athletes, they face danger daily through their practice of extreme sports. What motivates them, and how do they manage to master risk? Accompanied by an immersive 360° video and virtual reality experience, this documentary offers insight into and shares the passion of three exceptional champions. Géraldine Fasnacht, freeride snowboard and wingsuit champion; Amaury Lavernhe, world bodyboarding champion; and Guillaume Néry, multiple world record holder in freediving, belong to a league of their own among elite athletes. As extreme sports professionals, they both fascinate and intrigue. In every competition and every outing, they confront the elements and push their physical and mental limits to achieve remarkable feats. For all three, surpassing themselves has become their profession—and their obsession. Performance, focus, preparation, and rigorous training shape their everyday lives.
