A short film idea and it's players

I've grown up in the theatre, in love with theatre, in love with song and story through song. Some of the most beautiful moments in animation have been theatrical moments. Musical theatre moments.

I really want to take a shot at doing something similar.

So, the story is as follows; we have two ladies

To the left, the energetic Jaz, and to the right, the cautious Ariel.

Jaz works at a coffeeshop. She's a bit of a loose cannon, loves children, loves loud. She's queer, takes care of her younger brothers on the weekends and has been doing theatre all her life.

And she has a crush on Ariel.

Ariel works during the day and takes courses for car repair in the evenings. She's been living in the shadow of her brother's achievements her whole life, and while she's a hard worker, it hasn't gotten her very far. As a result, she's stunted as an individual. Now, as an adult, she's finally starting to figure out who she actually is. 

And she's realized she has a crush on the black barista who makes her nightly coffee.

So the story goes, these two starcrossed lovers, divided by a counter and societal restrictions sing about how much they like the other. 

And then they make out. 

it's gonna be a good film.
