"Angelo Bell is a genius. His feature film, The Broken Hearts Club, is populated with so many amazing characters that are fully formed, exciting to watch, and who tell such rich stories that I was in awe of his ability to write such depth into so many characters. The Broken Hearts Club is about a psychiatrist who gets stuck with a group of patients that are going through rough love issues, and Bell utilizes his gift for creating characters to paint a broad, vibrant, and deep palette of humanity and being through a large cast of characters."
