INTRODUCTION BY THE RADICAL JAMIE HOOK!
When we rescued and refurbished the Grand Illusion Cinema in 1997, Caveh Zahedi was the first visiting filmmaker, and his debut feature A LITTLE STIFF was one of the first films to grace the newly improved 30-year-old cinema. Caveh plays a neurotic film student whose therapist diagnoses him as fearful of uncertainty. In his sincere attempts to change and dwell with uncertainty, he finds his biggest obstacle: woman. The wheels of courtship stop and start throughout this hilarious indie comedy.
