'Broken Up' is the name of a web series written and produced by Kerry O’Neill as part of the process of healing her own heartbreak. The humorous, six-episode web series also tells the story of Kerry's heartbreak and the numerous attempts made by her friends in the hopes of getting her out of a dark place.
All of the episodes of Broken Up are under five minutes and will resonate with viewers who find or have found themselves feelings similar emotions to the lead character.
Episodes include 'Party Squirrel,' in which a friend brings over homemade costumes and 'Worms in Dirt,' which communicates the difficulty of something as simple as eating when one is going through the stages of grief.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Web Series for Heartbroken

Sectors Adopting This
