Abstract
'Character Drift' is concerned with finding work in the Australian film and
television industries and issues of 'vocation' for artists. It explores these issues
through a first-person account by the writer. It also utilizes the techniques of
film and television in order to explore the notion of 'cinematic writing.' The
essay in the words of writer and academic Joseph Epstein 'takes a line for a
walk'. This essay aims to 'take an image for a walk.' That is, it emphasises the
role of images in making sense of the world. It intertwines personal experience
with readings on television from media, psychology and literature.
