WHAT IS THIS MOVIE ABOUT?
Somewhere in the middle of West Texas (shot in Los Angeles), Sadie, a naive, nervous young woman works at Panties-- a women’s intimates store catering to the “everyday modest woman”. She’s a creature of habit and is perfectly content with life as it is. She goes to work in the day, and spends her evenings at home binge-watching “The Beverly Hillbillies” with her Meemaw & her Meemaw’s new boyfriend. What more could she ask for?
All of that changes when she meets Nina- her bold, mysterious, and daring new co-worker. She quickly becomes fascinated with Nina & her dangerously risqué side hustle; selling “lightly used panties” to creepy men in need. The two young women become fast friends-- and even faster business partners.
When one of Nina’s creepy regulars, Joshua, stalks her (for the fifth time) and finds Nina at her new job, demanding more than just underwear, their business deal goes south. Nina and Sadie’s lives are changed forever when Sadie steps in to save the day.

Inspired by the early works of the Coen Brothers, the iconic Thelma & Louise, and the indie classic Desert Hearts, Panties the short is a story about blurred lines between romance and friendship, dreaming bigger, selling underwear, and the (sometimes) deadly cost of doing business.
