Wesley Allsbrook is the artist behind the first-ever illustrated virtual reality film, Dear Angelica (produced by Oculus Studio. The film centers on a young woman (played by Mae Whitman) who has recently lost her actress mother (played by Geena Davis); it depicts an idealized relationship, and focuses on the daughter's sense of loss. Wesley feels a similar sense of loss for her mom, who's still alive. Since sharing that her stepfather sexually abused her as a child, Wesley has rarely seen her mother, who's still married to the man. It's an experience that has reinforced Wesley's conviction that she never wants to be so dependent on a partner or to be trapped by financial circumstances.
