This article is about actress, Jennifer Garner, selling her parenthood comedy to Fox. The network promised Jennifer to turn her idea into a half-hour show by the name of Half Full. Her story is about a couple who is newly married and has had the dream of moving to New York City, but eventually the plan fails for no other reason than an unexpected pregnancy. The couple is now forced into staying in Agawam, Mass. where the husband's angry older siblings live nearby. It is said that Matthew Nicklaw will pen the script and be co-executive producer along with Garner being the executive producer with Vandalia's (Garner's studio based Films) Juliana Janes to produce. The real reason this article caught my eye was because it surprises me how a famous and well known actress like Jennifer Garner is selling stories to huge networks and potentially turning them into future comedies for everyone to watch. As a consumer I enjoy hearing that one of my favorite actresses is getting involved in writing stories and ideas for television shows. This benefits her fan base who will only help support her even more with all the public viewings of Half Full when and if Fox airs it. As a student and filmmaker it shows me how even being in a specific job in the film industry that doesn't involve writing stories won't and can't actually stop you from doing so. Take Jennifer Garner for example, she is a big actress in the movie industry as well as a producer. People don't necessarily have one job in the film industry, but can be involved in as many as you can and are able to. It all depends on yourself putting in the hard work and determination that prepares you for any sort of challenge. If you succeed, then theres selling stories like Jennifer did with Half Full to Fox or anything you wish to accomplish. This definitely raises some questions like the obvious one: Will any other huge actor or actress follow Jennifer's path and start on stories of their own for future television shows? Will retired actors/actresses follow a new career in screenwriting, directing, or anything that involves coming up with the idea of the Film?
