Scott
Though he seems like a generic heartless studio executive, Scott has had his emotions drained by this AI film that he just watched. Deep down, he is still a human, perhaps fighting through the mask of emptiness that the film has put on him. References would be Agent Smith meets Lakeith Stanfield's character in Get Out.
Mr. 1
A mix between mentally emotionally checked out and financially focused. Mr.1 has also had his emotions destroyed by the AI film, but he is willing to let the effects of the film take over, since he knows that this technology just made his job that much easier. Strong comedic timing is a MUST. He interrupts, buds in to conversations, but doesn't trample over what others are saying. Soft spoken but eerie.
Mrs. 2
Business driven, sharp, a classic fake smiler, only these traits are amplified by her lack of earnest emotion due to the film she just watched. Like Scott, there is still a person behind the mask of emptiness, but the influence of the AI film is too powerful to let that person through. Strong comedic timing is a MUST. Reference would be Georgina from "Get Out".
