Falling in love: a romantic black comedy

I pitched my 3rd year idea and it went through! I am so happy that I will be able to develop it with a team of animators!

Falling in Love is a romantic black comedy that revolves around suicide. Our main protagonist, Salomone lives in Italy around the 1990 and he is living a sad existence: his daily routine is dull, his life colorless and plain. After gathering courage he decides he wants to kill himself


Unluckily/luckily for him, life has a stronger grip on him than the knot around his neck: Salomone's suicides attempts always fail ending up only hurting him.





Jumping in front of trains, running into buildings on fire, leaping off bridges, overdosing on viagra, Salomone just can't kill himself! He desperatly tries to end his misery until he notices Maria in a flower shop while eating poisonous flowers.


Maria is a young woman in mourning whose face is signed by many tears. Salomone forgets about killing himself for a minute, until the flowers kicks in and makes him pass out.


Back to his apartment, Salomone is sadder than before and demotivated. He decides to jump from the roof of the building where he lives for a certain demise.
He rushes upstairs and is about to jump, until he stops to look at the gorgeous sunset on the sea.


The sweet breeze calms his nerves and the wind blows the surrounding trees creating a delightful sweet synphony. Salomone smiles...maybe it's worth living another day...
he is about to leave when he sees Maria on the bulding in front of his: he tries to catch her attention waving like a madman, but the girl completely ignores him and jumps. Salomone jumps after her, without even thinking.


Salomone speeds toward her trying to grab her hand: Maria face is covered with tears. When Salomone reaches her he imagine how life could have been together.

Maria looks up and sees Salomone's face: despite the situation he seems happy. She is confused at first but smiles back and hugs him harder.

The two of them speeds down, swirling like in a dance, until they hit the floor and die after the fell in love

So far my team can count
Leonie Isaacs as producer
James White as lead animator
Leigh Juggins
Annah Bohac as animators
Dan Bowhay as Sound technician
Rob Owen as special effects guy
Sophie Rippington as script helper and background colorist

We'll probably need some more animators and background artists, but so far we are hella good
