Transmedia isn?t just a buzzword, but an engaging and cost effective tactic employed by content creators to entice fans and keep them entertained and engaged between regularly scheduled programming. Or that?s at least one of the things transmedia can be if it?s done well. And Tina Cesa Ward hopes to do it well. The co-creator of the hit web series Anyone But Me (which she made with Susan Miller and recently aired its series finale after three seasons, 25 episodes and tens of millions of views) is launching a new unsettling character drama with a touch of humor. It?s called Guards of Dagmar, and is set in the supernatural and mysterious world of ?a residency for the developmentally and intellectually disabled. The show?s creator plans to do her best to recreate components of that world in ours using various social media tools and internet tricks (as advised by transmedia storytelling experts No Mimes Media). ?With the transmedia elements for Guards of Dagmar, I want to create a world that fans can be a part of in between episodes,? Ward explained over email. ?Because the story is so complex and there are so many mysteries to be uncovered I think it's ripe for the transmedia story world.? Here?s a more in-depth description of Guards of Dagmar so you can know what world the transmedia will bring to further fruition
