Heroes - C21 Media: Video: Tim Kring Video Interview

At C21 Media:



C21TV profiles Heroes creator Tim Kring

C21TV catches up with Heroes creator Tim Kring to find out how he developed three-dimensional storytelling with NBC, following the show's websites winning last weekend's primetime Emmy for NBC.com.

This interview, the first of a series of one-on-one executive profiles under the C21's Content Lab brand, uncovers how Kring was given freedom by US broadcaster NBC to use Heroes as a test-bed for 360-degree storytelling.

That strategy paid off, with Heroes and Heroes Evolutions sites beating those of Friday Night Lights, 30 Rock and others to give NBC.com its first primetime Emmy for outstanding achievement in interactive media last weekend.

In our exclusive interview Kring takes us on a creative journey to explain how the experience has altered his approach to programme making and how he wants to develop communities around entertainment brands to help save the world.
