Rather than focusing on highlight reels or championship rings, the series documents the four-time NBA champion\u2019s mental health journey throughout the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n<p>### An Unfiltered Look at Professional Athletics<br \/>\nThe documentary captures six authentic therapy sessions between Green and renowned sports psychologist Dr. Carrie Hastings. By filming at various intervals during the high-pressure 2025-26 Golden State Warriors campaign, the series provides a raw perspective on the intersection of elite athletic performance and the personal hurdles that often remain hidden from the public eye. <\/p>\n<p>This project arrives at a time when the conversation surrounding athlete mental health is more prominent than ever. According to recent data from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), roughly 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience mental health challenges annually, and high-profile figures like Green are increasingly using their platforms to normalize the pursuit of professional psychological support.<\/p>\n<p><video src=\"https:\/\/storage.ghost.io\/c\/2a\/2f\/2a2f38f0-4b71-407a-9c7e-18a9e2541980\/content\/media\/2026\/09\/Open-Season-on-Draymond-Green---Trailer---45-Seconds.mp4\" poster=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" playsinline preload=\"metadata\"><\/video><\/p>\n<p>0:00 \/ 0:45<\/p>\n<p>Trailer for Open Season.<\/p>\n<p>### Redefining the Viewer Experience via VR<br \/>\n*Open Season* is not a traditional documentary; it was engineered specifically for the virtual reality medium. Utilizing advanced Blackmagic URSA cameras, the production team captured the footage in stereoscopic 3D 180\u00b0 video. <\/p>\n<p>This technical choice serves a narrative purpose: it effectively breaks the &#8220;fourth wall&#8221; of the therapy room. By placing the viewer directly into the space alongside Green and Dr. Hastings, the technology creates a sense of presence that standard 2D filming cannot replicate. It transforms the audience from passive observers into silent participants, fostering a deeper sense of empathy and connection to the subject matter. <\/p>\n<p>As immersive media continues to evolve, projects like *Open Season* demonstrate how VR can move beyond gaming to provide meaningful, human-centric storytelling.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"echo_read_more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uploadvr.com\/metas-new-immersive-series-follows-nba-champion-draymond-green-through-therapy\/\" target=\"_blank\"> \u00bb More Info >>><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta is stepping into the spotlight with the launch of its new &#8220;Meta Presents&#8221; banner, and it\u2019s kicking things off with an unfiltered look at one of basketball\u2019s most polarizing figures.
