Synopsis: A woman gets dumped by her boyfriend as everyone else in the world is deeply in love. After a painful conversation at a diner ends their relationship, the woman sets out to find herself in the park on a walkabout. However, she finds that everyone (and every thing) in the park happens to be deeply in love and, with the help of Brooklyn's best alternative comedy freaks, they just rub it in her face. Fareeha Khan writes and stars in this absurdist short.
Vulture wrote: "She’s achieved a seemingly insurmountable feat by somehow cracking a new shade of awkward, stoner-y, lovable aloofness. Just when we thought we’d seen every color in that rainbow and heard every change in that frequency, she’s gone and changed the game.”
Director's Bio: Fareeha Khan wrote and starred in BREAK UP, BABY. She is a regular in the New York City comedy scene. She was featured on Comedy Central's Tight Five presented by Ilana Glazer, has toured her stand up with Man Repeller, and acts in indie films around town. She self publishes zines featuring original essays and illustrations exploring meaning under capitalism, which she sells at her Etsy shop "CoolExistentialZines".
Alec Cohen directed. He is a writer and director based in New York. His work has been featured on Comedy Central, Adult Swim, SeriesFest, UCBNY, NYTVF, MTV.com, The New Yorker, Funny or Die, and more. You can learn more about his work at aleccohen.cool.
