The What

Even if you’re from San Francisco, you’ve never seen San Francisco like this. From the most iconic landmarks to underground destinations, “A Love Letter to San Francisco” pays homage to the city in a unique three-part VR360 film series: Land, Water, and City. At the time it utilized the most cutting edge technology to paint an unprecedented picture of a city that’s changing every day, from sunrise to sunset. ”A Love Letter to San Francisco” debuted at the launch of Verizon’s San Francisco flagship store on Market Street, a next-generation store with a new design and approach to retail.
