​​
​Splash in the City
by Deborah Whitaker and Craig Cloutier

Half-Hour Adult Animated Dramedy​


​Wendall Paidoff, Rob LaSuit, and Judge MyView.
Not Me, Inc. and Fitz-In Shoe Co.
Their greed, cynicism, and lack of vision 
​turned Splash City into ruins.

​
​The women of Splash City had enough.


​

​​​Show Cross:
The playful wisdom of "Inside Out,"
the feminine perspectives and friendships of "Barbie,"
and the optimism of "Ted Lasso."
​​

​​Logline:
​In a rigid, color-drained city obsessed with conformity,
​five women launch a rebellious multimedia movement
to help citizens break free, regain their true colors,
​and begin thinking for themselves.
 


Synopsis:
Hierarchy, oppression, and cynicism have flattened Splash City citizens into muted, two-dimensional versions of themselves. Self-expression is suppressed, playfulness is dismissed, and conformity is enforced. Splash City residents are divided, working as "Riders" at the "Abusement Park" or as "Climbers" scaling ladders on ​"The Wall."

Enter Splash in the City — a bold, female-led multimedia platform created by five women determined to bring color, sensibility, ​and humanity back to their world.  


Dancer and Fashion Designer Mzzz Pink, Psychotherapist Lisa Hearditall, Music Painter Ms. Bee Haven, Laughter Yoga teacher Miss Guided Light, and ​Pop Singer Danie Starbright join forces to make their “3D movement” the new fashion rage.

Using empathy, listening, creativity, humility, and intuition - the underrepresented voices of our times - the Splash in the City women, with the help of their friends Justin Tide, Al Chemi, NRG and Vortex, are transforming their world ​by transforming themselves.

Picture

​Splash in the City offers a playful, imaginative response 
​to our current cultural upheaval.
Instead of leading with cynicism, the series
uses light-hearted humor to illuminate
our dysfunctions while inviting personal growth
in a fresh, non-clichéd way.
