Director Statement

Ever been in a failing relationship so long that breaking it off somehow feels worse? This is exactly the feeling this short film aims to capture. This film follows an ill-fated couple who go to lunch to finally end things but discover it isn't so easy. Popular media has often portrayed breakups as being someone's fault (cheating, lying, etc.); in my experience, however, this is rarely the case. Instead, I'm showing how two people can break up not because of one person’s wrongdoing, but rather because they simply aren’t meant to be together, and that's okay.
