*couldn't fit all the character breakdowns. Here's the last two.
Barry
Age 20 to 25. Barry is a hyper intelligent but socially awkward aspiring filmmaker. He is well versed in geek-centric entertainment like science fiction, horror, Dungeons and Dragons, comic books, video games, ect. He is easily agitated by smug and dismissive people. Sort of a “nerd” stereotype.
Peter
Age 20 to 25. Peter is a witty, sociable but somewhat petty aspiring filmmaker. He is well dressed and a fan of obscure music. He champions artistry over disposable entertainment. He is dismissive of nerd culture and empty blockbusters. Nerdy people annoy him. Sort of a “hipster” stereotype.
