Lefty & Boomer
Logline: Quirky personifications of a student’s left and
right brain hemispheres dysfunctionally interact as they encounter a cute girl
on the way to class.
Synopsis: Lefty informs boomer that they have acquired a girl’s
name, but that the next class leaves insufficient time for progressive
socializing. Boomer decides to arrange a later time and tells Lefty to ask if
she’s a coffee drinker. She answers only when she needs it, sending Lefty into
a panic. He flees to class, only later to be joined by the girl.
Characters
Lefty
Height: 4’6”
Weight: 300 lbs. (Titanium Alloy)
Appearance: Though only existing in psychospace, our story
portrays Lefty as a hovering robot with buldging eyes.
Personality: Lefty is logical, rational, analytical,
objective and sequential, but can be thrown into disarray by Boomer’s illogical
commands. He’s primarily concerned with school.
Environment: Lefty hovers around a futuristic lab
environment full of charts, wires and computer monitors. The floor is approximately
20 feet in diameter, but the walls expand as they reach up to infinity.
Boomer
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 120 lbs.
Appearance: Boomer is a tall and lanky human with a
neo-baroque suit and an eccentric hairstyle.
Personality: Boomer is random, intuitive, holistic,
synthesizing, and objective. He’s a socialite and a hopeless romantic whose
actions are often overridden by Lefty’s logic. He’s capable of bypassing
Lefty’s consent, but usually makes our hero look crazy as a result.
Environment: Boomer rides a chair through a steam punk
lounge filled with art, books and musical instruments. The room has the same
dimensions as Lefty’s.
