Incel

A young man has been alone for so long that he no longer believes he can be loved or find a relationship. Convinced the only way to learn how to connect with a woman is to pay a stripper to spend time with him, what unfolds is an unexpectedly raw and tender examination of loneliness, worth, and human connection.

Written, directed, executive produced, and starring David Stallings — shot in a single day in June 2025 on a set built by David himself in Phoenix. Currently in post production.

The Second Showcase

The Stalled Short Film Showcase returned in June 2025 — bigger than ever. Once again Pollack Cinemas in Phoenix opened its doors for a night of independent Arizona film, this time drawing over 200 attendees and the premiere of Bunker.

What began as a premiere event in 2024 has become an annual tradition — proof that Arizona's independent film community is growing, hungry, and showing up.
