8 days ( !! ) left for the Kickstarter campaign, i.e. Nov. 20, 2015 – go to www.limpingtowardsbabylon.com to pledge

So it’s time to go a little deeper into the script. I want you, my supporters, to get a better sense of “E”‘s character as well as the humor in the script.

The teaser video has just a tiny section of the opening scene where Adam interviews Thomas and Marcus for their suitability as roommates.  Shortly after that, “E” interrupts the interview:

Marcus (Matt Mercer) and Thomas (Josh Breslow) being interviewed by Adam

”E” is really EILEEN SMITH, 23 or 24, in the grad Art and Architecture School, but she goes by “E” and signs her paintings / mixed media Combines as “E. Smythe”.

ADAM:  Fine. I withdraw the question.

She speaks as she leans over Adam’s shoulder and starts reading his notes. Then, she turns the page, to read his earlier questions.

“E”:   You’re the two new roommates?

ADAM:  “E”, please.

She puts her hand out to shake hands with Marcus and Thomas.

“E” (To Adam) They look good. I don’t see any serious problems. (To Thomas) Sorry. I didn’t say…

ADAM:  No, I haven’t said they’re… Will you please – (let me tell them…)

“E”:  I’m “E”.

THOMAS:  Thomas.

“E” nods to Marcus.

MARCUS:  Marcus.

THOMAS:  “E”? Uh, how do you spell that?

“E”:  Just the letter. “E”.

THOMAS:  Oh. So, like the poet: e.e. cummings?

“E”:  No. Not like him. I capitalize my name….

And finally, here’s a photo of Josh and Matt goofing on me during filming:
