Connie is a short film that featured in August's Frightfest short film programme and we spoke to the writer, director Cat Davies about it and so much more...

Connie is up for two awards at Sick Chick Flicks 2016.

Synopsis of Connie

Would-be stand-up Dolly Diggs suffers from stage fright. To overcome her fear, she plans to become a ventriloquist and thinks she found just the puppet to help. Enter bold, brassy, sassy and sickening, the sequinned killer under two feet tall, Connie. But Connie is no ordinary puppet… She’s a living doll.

Official website is www.conniemovie.com - for screenings, extras, photos, biogs etc. Basically, all things Connie.
