Stalled Productions · The Founding Year
One film. One showcase. One community coming together.
Stalled Productions · Debut Film
A colorful, awkward piece about two matter-of-fact young professionals uncertain and unsure how to find love. Required to bare their hearts to each other, the two learn that dating doesn't have to be scary — but it does require you to take the first step.
Filmed over three days across three distinct Arizona locations, this romantic comedy became the first film produced under the Stalled Productions banner and the centerpiece of its inaugural showcase.
Behind the Scenes
From Joe's Diner in Phoenix to the desert roads of Peoria — three days of filmmaking, community, and the first chapter of Stalled Productions.
Stalled Short Film Showcase · I
What started as a premiere became something much bigger. The first Stalled Short Film Showcase brought together 12 independently made short films from across Arizona under one roof — merging the filmmaking community with the general public.
Over 150 people filled Pollack Cinemas in May 2024 to watch, celebrate, and connect. A Modern Guide to Dating made its world premiere that night as the closing film.
"Over 150 people came together to celebrate independent film, meet the filmmakers, and prove that Arizona has stories worth telling — and audiences ready to watch them."
