Falling Girl

Falling Girl is the name of the short film we are currently producing for our Film Studies AS.
The Original story comes from Andrew Kaufman's Book "All My Friends Are Superheroes"

Here is how it is originally written in the book:
Falling Girl
Falling Girl won't go higher than the second floor of any building. She's never set foot on a balcony and the floor is the only place she'll sit. A small sample of things she's fallen from include trees, cars, grace, first-storey windows, ladders, bicycles, The wagon , countless kitchen counters and her grandmother's knee
Smoking besides the Ear (another super hero) one winter night, she wiggles deeper under the sheets and admitted the only thing she's never fallen from, or into, was love. 'If that's how you do it, I would have done it.' she said. Then she leaned over to butt out her cigarette and fell out of her bed. 


And this is a rough draft of the script for ours.

Falling Girl
 You would be surprised how many people have a superpower; somebody close to you may even have one. They aren’t all amazing like super strength, but a super power is an ability that is unique to that person. For example Falling Girl. Falling Girl has an amazing capability to fall from anything and has fallen from everything. Falling Girl won’t ever go higher than the second floor of any building. She never set foot on a balcony and the floor is the only place she will sit. A small sample of things she has fallen from includes trees, cars, the school stage, her piano teachers stool, Santa knee, first storey windows, the charts, stairs, ladders, the stock market, bikes, countless kitchen counters and grace. 
One winter night when she was in bed with the Ear, (The ear is another super hero, whose power is that he can hear anything up to a mile away, but he was also Falling Girls boyfriend at the time.) Falling Girl got deep under the covers and admitted the only thing she’s never fallen from, or into, was love. ‘If that’s how you do it, I would have done it,’ she said. Then she leaned over to turn off the light and fell out of the bed.
