Anthony Zuiker, creator and executive producer of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” (and the producer of all “CSI” franchise shows), is going to deliver a keynote speech at our NewTeeVee Live conference that will be held in San Francisco on Nov. 13.
He will join Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, and Jason Kilar, CEO of Hulu, as keynote speakers for the conference, which will explore the importance of professional content as one of its major themes. Zuiker, as part of his talk, is going to discuss how the emergence of new platforms such as mobile and the Internet are changing the art of storytelling. He calls it cross-platform storytelling.
When I spoke with Zuiker earlier this week, he said he was working on games, digital books and video to create new kinds of entertainment experiences. He predicts that the future of content involves giving the user control, a sense of ownership over it.
To find out what else is on his mind, join us at our conference: check out the schedule, the speakers, and get your tickets.
See you in November!
CSI via their international distributor which use to be Alliance Atlantis had this really robust mobile ecosystem going out internationally promoting CSI. It was probably one of the best global promotions I had ever seen of a Television show. I beleive when CBS bought out the global rights from Alliance all of this went away? It would be great if you could get Zuiker to address the global mobile push that was done in something like 8 different languages.
