Break-ups are the worst, especially the ones that happen on your birthday. Luckily, you’ve got options. You can either get sad and stay sad, or you can try not to be so pathetic. Sometimes, just doing anything is the best you can do, and it also might be the very best gift you can give yourself.
“Falling Down in Public” is a narrative short that my friends and I made on my 30th birthday. It made its world premiere at the 2020 Kansas City FilmFest International. It has also screened at the 2020 Twin Cities Film Festival, Flickfair 2020, and the 2021 Atlanta Underground Film Festival. If this film doesn’t make you want to buy a broken skateboard and get crazy in a parking lot, I don’t know what will. Check out the trailer below and see if you can resist.
