BREAKING UPWARDS, A film by Daryl Wein, NR, 88min.

"A low-budget romantic comedy that's smart and lively and, in the end, quite affecting." Village Voice.

"Like many relationships, 'Breaking Upwards' starts in bed and ends on the street. The journey in between, however, feels as new as anything a tiny budget and a boatload of talent could produce." THE NEW YORK TIMES.

After four years together, a New York couple have grown stifled. Desperate to escape their ennui, but fearful of life apart, they decide to intricately strategize their own break up. Based on an actual experiment in real-life devised by filmmakers and partners, Daryl Wein and Zoe Lister-Jones, the film interprets a year in their lives exploring alternatives to monogamy, and the madness that ensues. The couple inhabits a hyper-articulate, emotionally layered world where twenty-somethings are portrayed in a
complex and thoughtful new light. An uncensored look at young love, lust, and the pangs of codependency, Breaking Upwards follows its characters as they navigate each others' emotions across the city they love. It begs the question: is it ever possible to grow apart together?
