The VR films have been made in collaboration with partner Hellen Rose and with long-time assistant and righthand frontline camera man, Pakistani Waqar Alam. The first, "Fun Fair Jalalabad", was shown in 2017, a second, "Bring in the Clowns", a satiric drama attacking opponents of gun control in the USA, in 2018.
