Scripting and Drifting - Day 4


I took a day off.


I needed to think through a problem with the script (there are many) so instead of writing I hit the manuals.


I unearthed a gem. It didn't help me solve the problem but it is a great warning about trying to say too much.


The multi-talented Albert Brooks did a series of skits in the seventies for Saturday Night Live.


One of these was a trailer for a movie-of-the-week called Black Vet.


It showed a black actor messing around with animals in the clinic - but, he also had past in the army:


Black Vet: He's a veteran and a veterinarian!


There goes one of my characters.
