Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age

The prolific director and storyteller is on a mission to change how we create and consume media, so he keeps his hands in many varied projects. The way Del Toro sees it, soon we will download a comic about a movie the minute we walk out of the theater, and play a videogame that expands the story that same day...

"I'm a huge gamer but going into constructing it, you have to be respectful of the medium. I'm learning a lot."

I’m learning the way that the narrative works in video games. It’s interesting how resourceful you have to be in guiding the audience. In a strange way, it’s similar to playing chess with the audience.
