Creative Outline

“All Capitalists Must Die” is a utopian fantasy set in a future Ireland where a great battle has been fought between the Council and wild, corrupt gangs of capitalists. The Council emerged victorious, establishing a new society founded on natural law and mutual aid.

Life thrives in this future Ireland, where abundance and diversity reign supreme, offering ample opportunities for drinking and partying. However, the tranquility is disrupted when the occasional rogue capitalist appears.

Our heroes, four Irish women of color, are dispatched by the Council to an off-grid idyllic cottage. Each possesses unique characteristics, embodying traits and names inspired by Irish female folk and pagan legends. Together, they form a formidable force tasked with defending the new utopian Ireland.

Meanwhile, the capitalists, depicted as cartoonish white men, represent the remnants of an old, corrupt regime driven by greed and power. Their relentless pursuit to regain control clashes with the women’s unwavering commitment to uphold the Councils orders “All capitalist must die”

The story also introduces two key characters: The Butcher, an archetype alpha warrior suffering from PTSD, and the Ex-Estate Agent, a cunning and manipulative figure with supernatural powers. Their presence further complicates the dynamics within the group of women, testing their unity and resolve.

At its core, “All Capitalists Must Die” is a comedic morality play that explores the conflict between good and evil, gender dynamics, and the intersection of race, class, and economics. The absurdity of the premise—women of color defending utopia against old white male capitalists—sets the stage for a clash of worlds filled with humor, dark satire, and fantastical elements.

Visually, the film juxtaposes the serene beauty of the women’s surroundings with the grotesque, trash-filled hideouts of the capitalists, creating a visually striking contrast. Action sequences are over-the-top and cartoonish, with characters displaying superhuman abilities and engaging in slapstick humor.

Dialogues between the women are characterized by banter and playful teasing, adding levity to the narrative. However, amidst the humor, there are moments of tragedy that lend depth and weight to the story, including the eventual demise of key characters and the unraveling of friendships.

As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, the women grapple with conflicting responsibilities, questioning their allegiance to the Council in the face of personal safety and the greater mission. The Ex-Estate Agent emerges as a divisive figure, exploiting the divisions within the group to further her own agenda and sow discord.

“All Capitalists Must Die” is a wild and mischievous ride that blends action, comedy, and social commentary in a fantastical setting, offering audiences a thought-provoking yet entertaining experience.

– Directors Visual Approach

Here’s an expanded look at the director’s vision:

Utopian Paradise vs. Dumparoda:
The world is depicted as a stark contrast between the utopian paradise inhabited by the protagonists and the dismal wasteland where the capitalists reside.
The forest where the women live is lush, wild, and teeming with vibrant wildlife and vegetation. Post-production effects will enhance the natural beauty, making it feel like a magical sanctuary.
Conversely, Dumparoda, the capitalist stronghold, is set in a literal dump. The environment is decrepit, polluted, and overrun with filth, reflecting the grotesque and buffoonish nature of its inhabitants.
Idyllic Cottage vs. Grotesque Capitalist Dwellings:
The cottage where the women reside is an idyllic haven, complete with solar panels, a thriving vegetable garden, free-ranging chickens, and colorful flowers. It exudes warmth, sustainability, and abundance, symbolizing their harmonious way of life.
On the other hand, the capitalist dwellings in Dumparoda are exaggerated and caricatured, reflecting the absurdity of their greed-driven lifestyle. The buildings are haphazardly constructed from salvaged materials, portraying the chaotic and unsustainable nature of their existence.
Bold, Cartoonish Aesthetic:
The film embraces a bold and cartoonish aesthetic, amplifying the surreal and fantastical elements of the story. Colors are vibrant, lines are exaggerated, and proportions are skewed, creating a visually dynamic and immersive experience.
This aesthetic extends to the characters, props, and environments, infusing each scene with a sense of whimsy and theatricality.
Punk Anarchist Vibes:
“All Capitalists Must Die” leans into a punk anarchist aesthetic, embracing bold, over-the-top statements and rebellious imagery.
The visual style is anarchic and chaotic, mirroring the ideological clash between the protagonists and the capitalist antagonists.
Creative Camera Techniques:
The director employs creative camera techniques to enhance the storytelling and reinforce the film’s thematic elements.
Like in Edgar Wright films, the camera is placed in unconventional locations, such as inside bins, on the side of shovels, or inside fridges, creating unexpected and visually striking perspectives.
Characters make surprise, unnatural entrances into the frame, adding an element of whimsy and unpredictability to the scenes.
Wide shots with a 35mm lens are used for sweeping panoramic views, slow tracking shots, and zooming effects, capturing the grandeur of the utopian landscape and the chaos of Dumparoda.
During emotionally charged moments, the director shifts to a more naturalistic style, utilizing close-ups with a 50mm lens and handheld camera movements to convey intimacy and intensity.

Overall, the director’s visual approach in “All Capitalists Must Die” is integral to immersing audiences in a fantastical world filled with whimsy, rebellion, and larger-than-life characters.
