Trivia
All of the people interviewed remain very active in their VR communities. Along with that, the director Joe Hunting posted on his Twitter account photos of the multiple countries and film festivals the movie was shown at, along with the main cast of the film and other of his friends he met in VR Chat. Toaster and DustBunny got to meet and have lived with each other for over 3 months at the time (confirmed by DustBunny's Twitter), and IsYourBoi and DragonHeart finally met each other in person too.

Goofs
During the New Years scene, Jenny is heard counting down from a balcony off camera, but she is actually sitting behind Ray. She is briefly visible before being covered by another avatar, her mouth not moving.

This likely means that her audio was captured from the next shot of her standing on the balcony, then layered underneath of the shot with Ray.

Quotes
Toaster: I'm very, very glad that I unmuted to you.

Gives me hope

Very refreshing to see a doc that doesn't involve a homicide or general destruction of something precious. If you open your mind before watching this film, you'll come away inspired.

It takes us into a nascent world that few in the mainstream would otherwise see and never once is the audience held above the subjects. They and this world they have helped create are treated with the utmost respect and we meet them entirely on their terms, which is another thing that separates this from most documentaries. There's also some real filmmaking muscle on display here, particularly in the establishing shots, general framing of shots and the subtle way exposition is handled.

I was completely fascinated and greatly moved in several parts. This film gave me hope for humanity that I hadn't felt in a minute.
