About This Movie

Rebounding offers a slice of relatable life post-breakup, with Duke at its center—his journey to reconnect with an old flame feels both comedic and poignant. The film captures that awkwardness of trying to move on while still grappling with past attachments. The pacing is tight, and there’s this underlying sense of melancholy that contrasts well with the humor, creating a unique atmosphere. The performances are solid; you can feel the chemistry and tension brewing between Duke and his past interest, which gives the film a distinctive edge. Plus, considering it snagged an Honorable Mention at the Independent Shorts Awards, it’s clear there’s something special here, even if it’s not mainstream.
