Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age

Keith Stuart:  "Part narrative adventure, part science fiction TV series, the latest game from Max Payne creator Remedy Entertainment shows us a new era of entertainment" ....

Gwilym Mumford:  "The true-crime series about a man accused of murder, and a police department accused of framing him, tells a complex story without insulting viewers’ intelligence" ...

Joe Berkowitz:  "Barring some exceptions, what actually happens is an entire writers room full of interlocking personality types forms like a comedy Voltron to pitch and polish ideas until one or two writers have enough material to go off and write up a draft.

Leslie Shapiro & Josef Adalian:  "Series that once would’ve been yanked after a couple weeks are being given more time to find an audience, and networks are figuring out fresh ways to make money off of these new viewing platforms."

Rose Pastore:  "Snapchat Discover insists people want to return to a time when you had limited channels, and limited time to catch shows."
