THE PROJECT'S
CONCEPT
The Rotfather is a transmedia project that has a complex mafia story world spread differently in
a good number of mediums, according to each audience interest. The Story is about Al kane, a powerful rat that is a sugar dealer during the 1940s’, in the sewers of an American city. In an unrefined/rough metropolis, built under the streets, a number of other animals like spiders, cockroaches, frogs, rhinoceros bugs, and other rats face issues with Al Kane’s sugar dealing empire. With a stylized noir tone, the project has made a strong research on the mafia system – real and fictional stories in movies and books -, on successfully considered storytelling and not successful in different mediums and contexts in the last decades.
