Hittin' Up the Focus Group

[rinue]

Okay; pretend you don't know anything about the film I'm making or the fact that I'm making it. Which short are you more interested in seeing:

1. "The Sleeping People"
2. "Sleepy People"

and what do these titles make you expect?

Well it rather instantly presented as a comic situation to me. You could have two rivals competing for the affections of one of the other subjects, an intruder pursuing one of the rivals unsolicited, one attempting to barter their way out of the program, an embarassing disaster befalls the research team, one member who is WAY too interested in the study... you'd get plenty of frantic moments, disproportionate emotions, character quirks and a particularly amusing finish to the film of the morning after everybody finally got some sleep and came to grips with how ridiculously they behaved.
Blimey... I could be onto something here.
