Panto - A Romantic Comedy Short Film (Short film)
Join Panto, a mime performer, on his journey through a park to meet the girl of his dreams, and the misfortunes he encounters along the way.
Panto is a timid but well-intended mime artist who wishes to be accepted and taken seriously by his community. When a wishing well grants him the magical power to make his invisible environment come to life, he tries to prove his worth by taking down bullies and showing off to strangers in the park. Panto will learn that it’s not his powers that give him purpose, but the respect and connection from the people who love him for who he is.
In this homage to the silent era of comedies, this romantic comedy will explore the misadventures of a mime and his journey of falling in love and doing the right thing.
Biff is the villain of the story. He is a deeply misogynistic and judgmental man, who consistently enjoys making others feel small to fuel his own fragile ego. He shamelessly takes advantage of his girlfriend, Daisy, treating her more like an object of upkeep than an equal partner.
Biff's idea of a good life revolves around messing with his mates and drinking 'til closing time; he has no aspirations for the future and expects unwavering loyalty from his peers, believing they should follow him to the ends of the earth. Even when those around him begin to see through his toxic behaviour, Biff utterly lacks the emotional intelligence to recognise his own actions. Instead, he'll predictably blame the rest of the world for his problems, never taking responsibility.
