Ripped Pages , Broken Bones

A poetic and emotionally charged short film, Ripped Pages, Broken Bones brings Kelsea Hamm’s raw and unfiltered poetry to life through a visually stunning narrative. The film follows a young woman struggling to piece herself back together after a toxic love affair and years of self-destruction. Told in a nonlinear style, her story unfolds through haunting flashbacks, spoken-word poetry, and surreal imagery that blurs the line between memory and reality. As she navigates loneliness, heartbreak, and the weight of past trauma, ripped pages from her old journals appear throughout the film—floating in the air, burning in the sink, or scattered across the floor—representing the pieces of herself she’s trying to reclaim. The title’s “broken bones” are both metaphorical and real, symbolizing the pain she has endured and the resilience she must find to heal.
