Description
Love, Connie is a multi-media dance comedy thriller starring John Cantwell (Legally Blonde, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist) as Connie Slocum, and features Molly Cranna as Vickie, with a special guest appearance by actor/singer Kelly Mantle (The Confusion Of My Illusion, CSI, Nip/Tuck) as Bambi.
Connie Slocum (a sketch character Cantwell originated with legendary comedy trio The Nellie Olesons) is a loveable, albeit hirsute, ramshackle bikini queen who wants nothing more than to entertain an audience with her funky flash-dancing and pageantry skills. But a nemesis from her past threatens to derail her plans by putting her beloved pussy cat, Vickie, in jeopardy.
Watch Connie as she boogies to pop hits; strips off an array of spectacular outfits; smiles, cries, hunts and fights, all the while never forgetting that there’s an audience to entertain and a cat she loves more than life itself!
The filmed portions of Love, Connie were directed by Michael Bodie (Sundance Institute), produced by Loretta Ramos (How Do I Say This: I’m Gay) and executive produced by Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me).
