SEPARATED UNDER ONE ROOF — Episode 1: “Boundary Issues”
An original Italian romantic comedy sitcom created with Cantina.
Andrea and Claudia are separated, but circumstances have forced them to keep living under the same roof. Their apartment has become a battlefield divided by a red line — except neither their feelings nor Otto, their mischievous cocker spaniel, seem willing to respect the boundaries.
I wanted to explore how AI can be used not just to create individual scenes, but to build a recurring comedy series with consistent characters, locations, visual identity, comedic timing and storytelling.
The dialogue is intentionally in Italian to preserve the rhythm, humor and personality of the characters, with English subtitles for an international audience.
Krok is a chaotic and inventive frog who lives in a hidden creative workshop inside an abandoned industrial building. He sees possibilities where everyone else sees junk.
For the Cantina Challenge, I created Krok’s pilot episode: a 60-second animated short where his improvised engineering turns a pile of discarded metal into a homemade transforming robot.
The goal was to explore how a character can be more than a visual design, giving him a recognizable personality, environment, sense of humor, and a story engine that can generate future episodes.
Krok’s creative philosophy is simple:
Build first. Figure out why later.
The episode combines character animation, visual comedy, sound-driven storytelling and a handmade scrap-metal aesthetic to introduce the character and his chaotic world.
This project was created entirely in Cantina, from character development to the final pilot.
One call. One final conversation. And a truth that was never meant to surface.
The Last Call is a 90-second original micro-drama pilot created entirely in Cantina, where a seemingly ordinary conversation takes a turn that changes everything.
