Hello,
I think your movie has an interesting and original main character, and the idea that a 'theorician' must take action is a good trick to build a plot: try to analyze "Man's Favorite Sport?" where the main character is a professional fishing equipement clerk, very able to sell the equipement, but in reality he can't fish - when his boss send him to a fishing contest with a beautiful girl... Here the goal and the stakes are quite clear keep the job, win the girl). I think that you should work on the motivation of your character and on the conflict that will fuel the plot.
I agree with Nir Shelter.? It sets up a situation for a possible plot but falls short of outlining one.? The physicist certainly wants to? stay alive -- but to what end?? What objective goal does he settle on as a result discovering he can skydive off cliffs?? Half the stakes are there:? he'll kill himself he fails -- but what's the upside?? What does he stand to gain by his skydiving besides an ephemeral thrill?? Ultimately, what's the dramatic purpose and meaning?of his pursuit?
