The Justice

BTV members spoke with the Justice last week about their project, the sitcom Slice and 'Deis.

Brandeis television production organization BTV will soon officially release its first offering so far this semester: a sitcom, Slice and 'Deis, originally conceived by Arun?Narayanan '10. The sitcom will premiere Monday at 7 p.m. in the Golding Auditorium.

JustARTS: What are your roles?

Ilan Amouyal '11: Producing, co-directing with Arun.

Arun Narayanan: Creating, writing, directing, helping with some production stuff as well.

Gdaly Berlin '10: You can call him M. Night Narayanan.

Ted Levin '10: I play Ronnie.

Berlin: I play Ed.

JA: And what are your characters like?

Levin: I guess Ronnie is supposed to be a typical Brandeis student, a little bit nerdy, a little bit awkward, but, you know, trying to have a good time and maybe not doing so well at accomplishing that.

Berlin: Ed is you know, kind of goofy, but also kind of a cool guy.

Narayanan: [He's] a little bit on the sketchy side. I envisioned Ed as the main character. He and Walter [another character] are more of the focus of the show.

JA: What's the plot of the show like? What's the premise, five kids hanging out?

all: Pretty much.

Amouyal: Five kids hanging out, making fun of what you can make fun about at Brandeis.

Narayanan: They pretty much do random things on campus.

Amouyal: It's not a dramatic plot.

Levin: It's a highly satirical version of what goes on at Brandeis.

JA: What happens in the first episode?

Narayanan: The first episode is called "Sex with Dolphins."

Berlin: No dolphins were hurt in the making of the show. Physically. Maybe emotionally.

Amouyal: But one was eaten, just to see how it tastes.

Narayanan: I guess the main story's just, the friends are hanging out one night, and they decide to redecorate their hallway.

Levin: In terms of flyers.

Amouyal: It's a flyer that's very specific. It's kind of making fun of all those flyers in the hallways in dorms.

Narayanan: That's pretty much all we want to say.

Amouyal: We don't want to spoil the surprise, and the first show is just to introduce the characters.

Narayanan: I don't think plot is the main focus, at least in this episode.
