Imagine stepping from life and being totally immersed in the story during your next cinema experience. Hearing everything as if you were actually there in the scene. Close your eyes. You’re at a café in Paris, around you dishes are clanking and patrons are engaged in conversations. A woman is shouting from a third-floor window and birds are chirping in the trees. High overhead, a jet cruises by, and you subconsciously note that it’s departing to the east. You hear the familiar footsteps of your date approaching behind you. You hear all these details exactly where they belong.
