Dead ED - Hundreds of years after a nuclear world war, Khan and his companion, a service-droid, ED set out to purge the nuclear wasteland free of radiation. Friendship is tested and temperance is stretched when the two are pushed to their limits in the deadly country. Hello fellow filmmakers! We are film students who are creating our first independent movie titled DEAD ED. But we need help. We launched a Kickstarter to help secure funds for the project, and we need an extra push.

Hey guys! Lookin for some advice on conducting reharsals for talent for my short film , Dead ED. You can check details on it on the Facebook fan page here: https://www.facebook.com/DEADEDMOVIE I have two main characters: Khan - The protagonist, a man from the other side of the planet forced to work in the desert wastleands ED - Khan's only companion, ED is a service droid designed to protect and clean the wasteland. The relationship between these two characters is similar to a master and a loyal pet. Khan sees ED as something less than a best friend, and will learn ED's true value by the end of the story. My dilemma here is that I have never worked with a character like ED's before. The script is well written with great opportunities for subtext, but the fact that the character is a robot conflicts with the idea of exploring these opportunities (in my mind at the moment) I haven't gone through rehearsals yet, and I figured that I would explore this further with talent, but I would like to hear other input as well. I have gone through my analyzation, but this seems to be the only hiccup for me. What kind of exercises do you suggest for this situation?
