Steve Cutts’ short film In the Fall proves that sometimes you have to hit rock bottom — literally — to appreciate life’s simple joys. In just a few minutes, Cutts captures a man’s entire life flashing before his eyes as he plummets from a skyscraper, questioning his choices, regrets, and missed opportunities.
Told through Cutts’ signature retro animation style and dark humour, In the Fall manages to be both hilarious and haunting. It’s a quick reminder to pause, breathe, and maybe not take everything so seriously. With a bittersweet punchline that lands as hard as the fall itself, this short film is a must-watch for fans of clever animation and existential comedy. Whether you’re into visual storytelling, satire, or just need a reason to smile about life’s absurdities, In the Fall delivers in under two minutes.
