Comedic Short Film Deck

Meet Maple, a cashier at Annie’s Apples, who’s hooked on campy, binge-worthy vertical series. One routine shift, she finds herself unknowingly swept into a wild adventure that feels straight out of her favorite vertical soap. The line between reality and imagination blurs as she navigates this unexpected plot twist—filled with bizarre characters and out-of-the-blue drama.

Oh, fritters! is a playful, colorful comedy with a visual style reminiscent of Amélie. Just like the title, it’s as vibrant and indulgent as a hot apple fritter—quirky, flavorful, and packed with surprises. The deck is as bold as the script, exploring the absurdities of everyday life through Maple’s eyes.

Reality vs. Fantasy: Dive into how pop culture and personal fantasies shape the way we see the world.

Unexpected Drama: The comedy arises from the small-town bakery setting colliding with the grandiose world of Maple’s imagination.

Tone & Style: Bright, saturated, and visually playful—this film taps into a nostalgic yet modern comedic vibe. The deck reflects the same energy, delivering a script and concept full of charm and quirk.
