Community Service (post 3...Drummond refined)

I think I'm starting to see him more clearly in this latest batch of sketches. Great work Cecilia!

Community Service (post 2...Drummond solo)

From the notes I wrote at the beginning of the script, regarding Drummond (see the character sketch in the previous post):

He’s young, inexperienced, and about to learn that booksmarts don’t always translate well to the real world. The only way to be effective is to get experience, but the process of getting experience means you’ll invariably mess up, offend people, make the wrong choices and so on, ad infinitum.

The real question is…are you going to learn stuff in the process?

Above is another pic of Drummond (by Cecilia of course) that's part of a larger group shot. Don't worry...all will be revealed in time. Keep tuning in to see how it all unfolds.

Community Service (post 1...greetings and a character sketch)

Community Service is one of the very first long-form scripts I wrote. It has existed in a variety of forms for the last ten years. I've re-written and re-edited it countless times, and now I finally feel ready to begin.

I'm thrilled to be working with Cecilia Latella on this project. You can find her website right here. Check it out...there's some awesome stuff there.

My plan is to share some background about the project and the process by which it's coming to life. Hopefully I can convince Cecilia to drop in and share some of her insights in the 'comments' section.

Here's a character study of Drummond, the main character in the story.
