HI, WE’RE STUDIO HEARTBREAK!

We’re a viral independent animation studio run by a bunch of twenty-somethings.

Our debut short THE LOVERS is releasing for FREE online, after raising $400K+ on Kickstarter in 2023. We started it in college.

Right now, we’re working hard on our store! The goal is to fund premium original animation with high-quality, well-designed merchandise sold at reasonable prices.

maybe if we do this right, we’ll be able to keep making animation for a long time. what a dream, huh?
