Verizon Casts Heated Rivalry's Connor Storrie in Cabin Thriller Ad With a Twist Ending
The short film uses horror tropes to highlight Verizon’s network with creative input from Nia DaCosta and actor Connor Storrie in his first brand film.
- On Tuesday, Verizon released a horror-themed short film titled "Look Behind You," starring Heated Rivalry actor Connor Storrie and directed by filmmaker Nia DaCosta.
- The collaboration followed Storrie and DaCosta being spotted together at this year's Vanity Fair Oscar party earlier this month, sparking speculation about their partnership.
- In the film, Storrie faces electronic disturbances while in a secluded cabin, eventually realizing the incidents are "butt dials" triggered by his phone in his tight jeans.
- Storrie said, "Service so good, it's scary. From the concept to execution, this was an incredibly collaborative and creatively fulfilling experience," as the ad humorously compares his "best butt" with Verizon's "the best network."
- Marking his first brand film, Storrie is currently filming Peaked for A24 and appearing in Criminal Minds, establishing his expanding presence across television and commercial projects.
