Connie

Connie is a darkly funny 2016 short from director Cat Davies, offering an energetic and cheeky twist on horror-puppet lore. The story follows Dolly Diggs, played by Catrin Stewart, a shy stand-up comic desperate to overcome her stage fright.

When she buys a ventriloquist puppet named Connie, things start to look up—until Connie reveals a vicious personality, a jealous streak, and a shockingly foul mouth. What begins as self-help quickly spirals into mayhem as Dolly pursues a budding romance and Connie’s ambitions turn sinister. Smart editing, bold humor, and a standout double performance make Connie a fun, fast, and stylish genre treat.
