Cracked - A Web Series

Tired of dating jerks, Winnie Paige takes matters into her own hands and sets out to live life like it's a romantic comedy. Easy! So long as the dialogue is always pithy, and the hair is always shiny. In actuality, her friends are tired of her shit, her leading man is a Chiropractic Douche Bag, and her best friend Eddie can't seem to catch a break.

Director Statement

Through Winnie, and the ensemble along side her, we wanted to explore how far average characters are willing to go to live life like a romantic comedy. We wanted to find the sweet spot between chasing "true" romance, and missing genuine connection as a consequence. On one hand, it's an upbeat yet cynical comedy, full or cartoon-y moments and pageantry -- on the other hand, there is a nut in the centre of it all, about the imperfect, vulnerable and earnest person we all are, and the lengths we'll go to run away from it.
