Make or Break

Everyone likes surprises, but at what cost?

Ben think's its stupid, but Aidan is willing to do whatever it takes to find out the truth. MAKE OR BREAK is a hilarious and mysterious journey filled with unskilled individuals, learning that it may cost them more than a friendship if they want to prove their point.

Director Statement

With MAKE OR BREAK I wanted to make a comedic film that didn't take itself too seriously, but still induced the anxiety of a thriller. In many ways inspired by both sports and film, the two cornerstones that have kept me grounded in my life, I wanted to blend the two together to create the simple, yet amusingly fun experience that is MAKE OR BREAK.
