Actor Connor Storrie, known for his breakout role in Heated Rivalry, has teamed up with acclaimed filmmaker Nia DaCosta for a new project. This collaboration is a four-and-a-half-minute short film titled 'Look Behind You,' produced for Verizon.

A Thriller Setup with a Tech Twist

The Cabin Intrigue

The short film immediately adopts the tone of a scary movie thriller. It begins with Storrie arriving at what appears to be a remote cabin in the woods. He utilizes Verizon’s smart home security solutions to unlock the door and enter the seemingly isolated location.

Spooky Incidents Mount

After settling in and starting a fire, Storrie, dressed in jeans and a white tank top, experiences several unsettling events. These shocks suggest he is not alone in the cabin. First, loud death metal music suddenly blasts from the stereo system.

Later, while Storrie is preparing pasta and reviewing lines from a script, a house alarm begins to blare loudly. The lights suddenly go out, followed by the ringing of a landline telephone. A lamp then switches on by itself.

Confrontation at the Door

Feeling threatened, Storrie shouts, “I’m not messing around,” while holding a knife taken from the kitchen. A knock sounds at the door just as a heavy rainstorm begins.

Storrie answers to find a shadowy figure in a raincoat. The man says, “I knocked on the door. I looked in the windows. I almost gave up, man.” He then asks, “Are you Connor S.?”

The Unexpected Reveal and Plot Twist

The Ride-Share Driver

The supposed threat is revealed to be merely a ride-share driver. Storrie realizes that the series of frightening occurrences were accidental. They were all caused by his own “butt dials,” which occurred only when he sat down in various spots around the house.

A Cheeky Nod to the Past

As Storrie reaches this conclusion, he stands before a mirror, and the camera pans down to prominently feature his backside. This moment serves as a direct reference to his previous work.

Storrie’s nude backside was a significant element in the first episode of Heated Rivalry, becoming a major topic of discussion. In interviews, co-stars frequently praised his physique, with one stating it was “the fattest butt I’ve ever seen on a man.”

Adding to a Busy Resume

This new Verizon short film, directed by DaCosta, will likely keep the conversation surrounding Storrie’s physique going. It also adds another credit to the resume of the busy 26-year-old star.
