My Fellow Eberites,

 

These are some the resources we need to pull this off. I'm thinking that we should try to shoot the field scenes this weekend if possible. Chris knows a location. I'm not thinking that we're going to go with biblical costumes, but try to stay true to character. Trailer Trash is what we're going for here. Esau (Nate), outdoorsy, bring a flannel shirt if possible.

 

So, this weekend I need Chris (Jacob), Nathan (Esau) and Susan (Rebekah). Saturday Afternoon is my target weather permitting. Sunday after church is the alternate. Nate is working on getting us a camera.

 

Eric

 

PS. Let me know via the blog or email which of these props or resources you can help out with. The highlighted items are things we would need for this weekend.

 

A good location to shoot the field scenes…

Quiver & Arrows OR a shotgun

A Hole in the Ground (A shovel to dig one)

Mud, suitable for pushing a face into

Knitting or Crochet project

Wooden Spoon

Pot (metal or clay) of red looking soup or chili…Red Lentil is best.

Chewing Gum

Loud 80's Clothing

Heavy Metal t-shirt

Thick eye make up

80's high hair

Couch

Plate of meat

Hairy goat skin arm coverings

OK, so I don’t have cable, OK, I didn’t realize there was a TV show called The Hills. I’ll think of a name.

Last drama meeting, we’d said that we’d meet again on the 29^th of October…in three days. I hope we’re all still down wit dat. We have some resources (costumes, props, etc.) that we still need to pull together…I’ll be getting you a list of those hopefully tomorrow.

The Hills Episode ONe

OK, I thought I was going to knock out all four episodes today but this is just too fun to write. Here's the first episode: "Red Bean Soup, That's All You Get"

 

I still have to work out a shooting schedule as well as arrange for a camera and I still need to find a couple of extra actresses for Judith and Basemath. I'm still working on the remaining episodes.

 

Fellow Knights of the Papyrus (writers group), I welcome your feedback.

The Hills

The next series we are working on is going back to Genesis and talking about Abraham‘s dysfunctional generations, specifically Jacob, Esau and all the fun stuff that followed. So what I‘m doing is writing a four episode screenplay. The series is going to be called The Hills. It‘s going to be kind of like The Office, actually, combination of The Office and any one of those Michael McKean — type mockumentaries. I‘ve got a leg up on it already and it‘s coming along pretty well. The episode titles are as follows:

Red Bean Soup, That‘s All You Get
Angels and Dummies
What Are You Doing in My Bed?
Wrestling with God

I‘m not sold on the title of the last one, I‘m still trying to figure it out. Anyway, I‘m hoping you‘re all available for this. I‘m looking at shooting this possibly the last week of October into mid-November sometime. Below is an initial cast list. Let me know if you‘re on board…there‘s room for everyone. If we had more people I would write in the twelve sons.
