SYNOPSIS: BREAK/UP is a queer musical short film following three confidently flawed people who should definitely not be dating. Alex, torn between a toxic relationship and a fling, must come to terms with her own truth when she realizes a break-up might be exactly what everyone needs. It's a bop-along musical story where it's totally fine to burn bridges, especially when it comes to putting yourself first.
