The idea for this original series comes from a number of motivations and inspirations and conversations. The first, motivation, stems from realizing there is a responsibility to make whatever space is inhabited a better one when tools are available to be shared with people who are unaware of the tools available to help people make informed decisions. The second, inspiration, has to do with people who paved the way before. It is only right to continue their work. The last, conversation, has to do with dialogue with a respected person who tossed out the idea of creating an avenue to arm people with information and direction to guide them throughout their college journeys.
The love for television shows, while time is rarely spent these days watching television, contributes to the idea of presenting this as an original series. Shows like Narcos and 9/11 do a great job of storytelling without overdoing it. That will be the aim with this series. A great deal of the information in this series is readily accessible online and in print, but for people who would not know where to look, this will provide people with information in one spot. It can help lay the foundation to seek more information independently, as well as lead to questions for more information, or simply provide people with material to think. Basically, whatever’s clever.
In the context of this series, the setting for first-time college students apply to those attending 2-year colleges. The reasons for the series taking this approach will be given throughout season one.
