I am currently working on a digital story with Rochelle, a client at the clinic whose story will be featured at the upcoming "Religion, Spirituality, and Mental Illness" workshop to be held at the clinic. In her story, she talks about her journey through mental illness beginning with her first "break" at the age of 19 and all the ups and downs that took place. Hers is really a story of hope and faith as she describes how her family and faith in God have helped her through the "toughest of times."
At the "non fiction Scriptwriting" (cinema 72) course I am taking at City College, I had an opportunity tonight to submit my work in progress to the class for critique. It was a script of Rochelle's story that I revised using some of the storytelling techniques we've been utilizing in class. We actually took a whole hour analyzing my rough draft and got some helpful feedback. I'm beginning to feel that my investment in a three-hour class in the evenings (taking the bus from work to school then home) is paying off.
