2001 Christy Scott Cashman Eric Scheiner Angel Connell

Short summary

A pair of pantyhose worn by an attractive woman becomes an object of desire first to her lover and then to herself. In the process, said object displays its seductive power to either compliment human sexuality - or commodify it.

"Stocking Stuffers" is an experimental comedic short which illuminates through two brief anecdotes how a pair of pantyhose can become an object of desire whose seductive power can either compliment human sexuality - or commodify it. In the first half of the film, the man and the woman engage in sexy banter triggered, in part, by the pantyhose worn by the woman. In the film's second half, the Man and the Woman appear in three interlocking pantyhose commercials. The first half of the film posits in a suggestive way how an object of desire such as pantyhose can compliment human sexuality while the film's second half suggests in a satiric way how the same object of desire can commodify human sexuality.

The movie was shot in the basement of the home of filmmaker Angel Connell's parents. It took one weekend to shoot the film.

Actresses Tori Davis and Patricia Mizen were considered strong candidates for the role of "The Woman". Christy Scott Cashman ultimately won the part.

In its original incarnation, the film had its world premiere on 7 September 2001, at the Westford Regency Hotel in filmmaker Angel Connell's home town of Westford, MA (USA).

Filmmaker Angel Connell won the "Award of Distinction" at the 2001 Communicator Awards' Video/Film Competition (TX) as writer/director for the "Stocking Stuffers" film short.

The over-the-shoulder shot in the third pantyhose commercial took the longest time to set up. Extra rigging (which took several hours to construct) was required in order to have the camera properly mounted in a way that allowed the face of The Man (Eric Scheiner) to be seen over the shoulder of The Woman (Christy Scott Cashman).

Filmaker Angel Connell won the "Certificate of Award for Runner-Up" in the Best General Category Film competition at the 2009 Northern Virginia Film Festival (VA) as writer/director for the "Stocking Stuffers" film short.

Filmmaker Angel Connell won the "John Muir Award" in the Short Film Competition at the 2009 Yosemite Film Festival (CA) as writer/director for this short.

This film exhibits professional production qualities. As a short, it serves to demonstrate the capabilities of its creators, and will hopefully serve as a springboard for them to move on to bigger projects. While the subject matter may not be everyones cup of tea, it is distinctive enough to allow the film to easily be considered on its own, rather than being lumped in with a great number of efforts centered around sexual fantasies. The writer's ability to use intelligent innuendo rather than resort to explicit graphic or verbal displays shows his ability to entertain rather than bludgeon. The cast come across as comfortable in their roles, with demonstrable talent even though it is a short production. Technical details are seamless enough to satisfy nit-pickers that focus on errors rather than on the qualities of the production. All in all, a great first effort for this production team.

I was at the video release party for "Stocking Stuffers" when it was released in 2001. The film was received to great acclaim then and it's easy to see why. Although very short, this film is extremely entertaining with great performances by Christy Scott Cashman and Eric Scheiner. Both actors seem very comfortable with each other and the dialogue works well. There is plenty of sexual innuendo but nothing explicit. The first scene is very well done with some beautiful dolly shots and nice lighting. This was obviously shot on film and it shows. Angel Connell is a director with a lot of talent and I'm looking forward to see what he can do on a bigger budget. He certainly did a great job here with very little money. The 3 commercials are also of very high quality. Christy Scott Cashman is very charming and funny in them. She has a real talent for comedy. Overall I would highly recommend "Stocking Stuffers" and am looking forward to seeing more from Angel Connell and everyone involved.

I rather liked the back and forth between the actors, not just the dialog but the body language as well. Somewhat surprised at how good the production qualities were. If there is a complaint it would be that I thought the concept could be expanded a bit and the running time extended appropriately. I understand the tendency nowadays to use zealous cutting to come up with a streamlined story to avoid losing the interest of the viewer, but sometimes it's good to take the viewer along for a bit of a journey and include some of the details. Provoking thoughts may not be as much in vogue as senseless violence and special effects, but it still has a place, especially in indie films like this. I'd like to see more from this producer.
