Ermo Säks

Ermo Säks is a visiting research fellow and PhD candidate at the Baltic Film, Media and Arts School (BFM). His primary research focuses on cinematic virtual reality (CVR), a medium he finds especially compelling for its ability to merge audiovisual storytelling with immersive technologies, evoking stronger emotions and creating a heightened sense of authenticity. Understanding how users are immersed in CVR stories and how traditional cinematographic techniques can be used will allow CVR developers to work more efficiently and effectively.

Ermo is also the coordinator of TLU’s interdisciplinary cooperation project GenAI (Using Generative Artificial Intelligence in Creative Studies and Practices), is actively involved in WIRE and FilmEU+ projects, and is Tallinn University’s EXU (Enterprise x University) communication expert.

He has worked at Estonian Public Broadcasting (ERR) and in the private sector and brings over 18 years of experience in directing and producing.
