(AP) ? South Carolina's educational television network
has embarked on its first full-length dramatic presentation in
hopes the project will bring more production offers.

ETV officials hope the effort will put the public television
station somewhere in the league of WGBH Boston, which
already produces the science show "Nova," and KCET Los
Angeles, maker of the "Cosmos" series.
ETV is working on a show that will feature a collection of
short stories called "Tales of the Unknown South."
South Carolina writer James Dickey, author of the novel
"Deliverance," agreed to appear as host of the program. USC
literature and film professor Benjamin Dunlap is choosing the
stories to be enacted, and is writing the script.
Veteran director Laslo Benedek has been hired as a
consultant.
"This is the largest project of this type ETV has ever tackled,"
said ETV spokesman Ron Rader. "It's the first oooor
tunity we've had to do something like this."
- ,
The state's public television channeli has produced many
documentaries and educational programs. But the short story
presentation will be a first for the station.
Dunlap said the show, scheduled to air nationally on PBS
stations in 1984, could put ETV in line for more, and possibly
better, projects of a similar nature.

Most of the photographic work on "The Half-Pint Flask"
was to be finished Sunday in Georgetown County and Bull

Filming for "Neighbors" will be in and around Columbia.
"1 think it's going to showcase South Carolina like never
before," Rader said. "These are Southern stories in Southern
locales made by Southerners."
