Washington: “To create engagement, you must have a story. In the metaverse, creators will create the stories, and the stories they tell will create the community, just like at the beginning of time. The king’s storyteller kept people engaged, Shakespeare kept committed people,” said American film producer Donald Kushner, whose 1982 film “Tron” is considered the first cinematic depiction of the metaverse.

According to Variety, a US-based entertainment portal, Kushner spoke about storytelling in the age of the metaverse at the Red Sea International Film Festival.
