Copy

(Before It's News)

A friend of mine, and a contributor to the now defunct Storyblogging Carnival, is running a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for a television pilot.  Here’s the plug:

COPY is a TV show about the student media at an evangelical Christian college: An editor trying to whip his staff into shape, a blogger more TMZ than T.S. Eliot, and a university president obsessed with being “culturally relevant” – negative press be damned. How far will editor-in-chief Meshach Kilbourne and his staff go to secure the paper’s independence – and glory – against the machinations of President Constantine Ward?

It’s an embellished memoir of our college years. And the pilot script for COPY – which, for reasons beyond us, has been called “Sorkinesque” – reached the semifinals of the Scriptapalooza competition last year.

If you’re interested, consider pledging.
