“my life as a robot dog” 📺✍️ 🤖 🐕 . . #TVConcept #scriptidea #showbible #Winterswick @winterswick.college . . Marc Alpert, with Ph.Ds in Information & Computer Science and Software Engineering headed up the Robotics & AI Lab at Hudson University. Flush with public & private funds, the lab spread throughout the Westchester countryside taking over old IBM facilities. Thomas (Finn) Hansen, MSEE and Ph.D. in IT was part of a ragtag department of computer engineers at Winterswick College specializing in the niche of animatronics. Students were known to install moving ersatz human & animal parts every so often freaking people out as the tech got more realistic. The program was OK in placing its students, but it was seen as lesser tier and got little respect. . . The annual Northeast robotics competition was hosted by Hudson & Dr. Alpert was showcasing his robot dogs that he started working on when he was at MIT. Finn’s undergrad & grad students wanted to show up Alpert, who was mostly benign but an egoist. . . Taking a page out of Avengers: Civil War & the Empire Strikes Back (Battle of Hoth), Finn’s students had a plan to use drones w/fishing line to trip up the formidable robot dogs. They weren’t prepared for the dogs’ AI responding adaptively, but luckily the team had a few tricks up their collective sleeves. 🍌 . .

“road trip” 📺✍️🍁🍂🚗🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ . . #TVConcept #scriptidea #showbible #Winterswick @winterswick.college . Based on an article on someone’s BFF broke up w/them by @jenglantz I was reading in Nov. Travel can test relationships & maybe are a good proxy for compatibility. Interests, schedule, lifestyle, finances, and energy levels all need to be in synch, whether it’s your bae or BFF. It can also trigger blowups that break relationships apart. This ep examines a GenZ friend breakup. . . Samantha & Taylor both brew up in NYC, but their parents (in their blended family glory) moved to New England to try their hands at second careers. Both debated staying in the city for Thanksgiving, but opted to have a ‘girls road trip’ to Lancaster, NH. . . While there were the usual tensions of two different personalities in close proximity for a day, around Northampton, things started to get tense. The two were close freshman year, but drifted apart. The road trip started like a reunion with catching up & sharing stories. There were no disagreements or arguments, but a series of tacit disapprovals & eyerolls. Sam was annoyed at Taylor needing to fill the silence and in a panic blurted out: . . “I…I just don’t want to be friends w/you. I don’t have a reason & I don’t owe you an explanation.” . “Whoa, where did that come from? If that’s how you feel, fine.” . . Both knew the other well enough to know this wasn’t a spat. Both had trouble “faking” being close to people they didn’t feel close to. . . “I think we should go back separately.” . “Fine.” . . Sam & Taylor’s respective moms were more distressed with this BFF “break up” than they were. It became clear that both feel more connection w/those they interact with online, as both dealt w/the breakup over Thanksgiving weekend amid the backdrop of a wintry New England snowstorm. Taylor never gets any closure & her friends seek to keep her busy, rather than discuss Sam. Sam is revealed to be someone w/a solidified “code” that’s solidifying in brusque ways as she ventures into adulting. . .

“the cake is a lie” . 📺✍️🌿🍰 . . #TVConcept #scriptidea #showbible #Winterswick @winterswick.college . . This episode focuses on Autumn, a sustainable fashion studies major who grew up in Darien & later Greenwich, CT. . . The College had fall homecoming coincide w/the NY Fall Regatta & a “friends & family” weekend. While Autumn appreciated her mom coming down to visit from Greenwich, CT, she also spent the long weekend avoiding her. Her mom, Aimee, was vain, phony, & let everyone know she was vegan. Autumn was always annoyed at how her mom needed to be the center of attention & needed to be the “cool mom.” Autumn wasn’t averse to veganism, but felt her mom used it to control others. . This episode highlights how Autumn & her friends ditch her mom (and milquetoast stepdad), but in ways so she doesn’t feel bad. Autumn made sure her mom got a room at an eco-friendly hotel in Williamsburg & scheduled things so there would be plenty of near-misses, but w/contingencies that would occupy her mom & doltish follower stepdad like a cross distracted by shiny things. . . The weekend starts with Aimee showing up to her room with a vegan olive oil cake that tastes horrible. It goes on Autumn’s Finstagram w/a #thecakeisalie hashtag & caption, which turns into the slogan for the weekend. It ends with Aimee unexpectedly showing up at a late night karaoke party with Autumn singing bastardized lyrics to Kid Creole & the Coconuts’ “Endicott”: “Vegan mom frowns when you eat milk or meat Vegan mom judges everything you eat Vegan mom's dress is too see through Vegan mom shouldn’t get any more tattoos Vegan mom think she’s the eco queen Vegan mom doesn’t want you to think she’s mean Vegan mom bakes bad olive oil cake Vegan mom’s gets pouty when she’s irate Why can't you be like Vegan mom? Cause I'm free Free of made-to-order liabilities Thank God I'm free Cos it's hard enough for me To take care of me oh-oh” . .
