BREAKING UP WITH BOB
A Short Film by Allison Robinson
2000/color/12 mins/35mm

This comedy follows a neurotic woman in her attempt to end an unhealthy relationship. Though her intentions are good, her ability to take the plunge is slightly weaker. She tries self-help tapes, steadfast denial, and, finally therapy, which she hopes will give her strength, and ultimately the closure she needs, to once and for all . . . break up with Bob.

Bio:

Due to bad tips and rolls like "Bitch Number 2", she abandoned her dreams of acting for something more practical: writing and directing. Her screenplay, "Mr. and Mrs. Jones" sold to Phoenix Pictures earlier this year and she is currently writing on WB's "Dawson's Creek."
