Other Half (2026)
After cheating on her girlfriend, Jade (Grace Rolek) finds herself isolated in a world of newfound heart break. Determined to suffer through the grieving process alone, she refuses to answer calls, texts or communicate with friends and family. In her booze-soaked depression, Jade attempts to rediscover what being alone really means. With no one to blame but herself, she indulges in self-destructive behavior to cope. Despite her attempts to ignore her estranged best friend Avery (Cleopatra Boudreau), Jade is surprised to find her showing up at her door and entering (well, stampeding) into her space. What unfolds is a night of reckoning and rediscovery of their friendship.
