A young woman has a sleepover with a waffle empire heiress.
WAFFLE is used with permission from Carlyn Hudson. Learn more at carlynhudson.com.
Kerry is having a sleepover one night with her best friend Katie. There is nothing usual about this -- except that both are grown women, and Katie is an heiress to a fortune built on waffles. They indulge in all the typical sleepover activities -- ice cream, girl talk -- until it begins to emerge for time for Kerry to leave.
As it turns out, Kerry has been hired as part of a Uber-type service for friendship. Katie desperately wants Kerry to stay, but Kerry calls for her boyfriend to pick her up. Undaunted, Katie pays for more time and Kerry decides to stay, though not with much enthusiasm. Unbeknownst to her, Katie has other plans in mind for her best friend...
This comedy-horror short -- directed by Carlyn Hudson and written by co-stars Kerry Barker and Katie Marovitch -- deftly blends sharp, awkward cringe comedy with the taut suspense and dread of the horror genre, all while exploring the complicated knot of need and vulnerability that can fuel intense friendship, as well as the inequalities that can get in the way of genuine reciprocity.
Juggling genres and tones can be a tricky balancing act, but the short admirably modulates between its two poles with aplomb. Like many genres that emphasize pacing and plot, the storytelling is undergirded by a tight, fast-moving and surprisingly complex sense of structure, parsing out zig-zagging information about character, background and world for maximum punch and freshness. It's constantly engaging viewers with small but impactful reveals, an approach that consistently entertains and surprises, but also emphasizes a sense of unease.
The madcap story is matched by a sense of craft that has considerable panache and a glossy, foreboding darkness, rendering a world that feels real enough to suggest everyday life but removed enough to have an "Uber for friends" service. But the real high-wire act belongs to the performances, which can navigate both the absurdist situations of the plot and the thorny emotional reality of friendship with a deeply entitled person.
Perhaps it's because the pair of co-stairs are also co-writers of the screenplay, but both performers hit a difficult, mixing an almost surreal social awkwardness with a breeziness and rhythm associated with screwball comedy. Yet the emotions and dialogue are never played for broadness, staying just on the razor's edge of relatability. Katie's neediness for friendship and her ferocious sense of entitlement is played with an openness that's cringeworthy in its familiarity. But the extreme degree of her neediness and entitlement push the short into true horror territory, complete with a breakneck final sequence that fulfills the genre's demand for a heartstopping ending.
Stories of female friendship in film and literature have long examined the codependency, hierarchies and primal fascination that can exist between girls and woman, making these relationships just as complex and rich as romantic ones. But what makes the genre-bending of WAFFLE so hypnotic and effective is how it takes the need and vulnerabilities at the heart of these stories and parlays them to the furthest logical conclusion. The result is a wildly entertaining ride that horrifies not just because of the gaping maw of loneliness and toxic entitlement it reveals, but because it's so recognizable to our own emotional lives.

Katie is really great at acting crazy, but i prefer CH style where its a joke.... cause this actually scared the crap out of me. Forgot it was Katie playing a crazy person, and felt like she is really a crazy person.

she mostly plays crazy people on CH too to it makes sense. She is good at it too.
Katie genuinely is a really fun actress to watch. Her comedic acting and her serious acting are well above solid in my book, and I'd like to see her in larger projects.

Since when can't friends stay over at others 😂. That's an odd definition of a friend. But as an app/job that does make sense.

Yeah next thing you know your paid, level-1 "friend" has an easy way into your bedroom.
wait a minute. this isnt college humor
that "so fresh~" with the eggos being drowned in syrup 🤣🤣
When someone has you over a barrel in life, count your losses no matter how severe, and get the hell out.

I take it you haven’t seen “Kingpin.”
Katie Marovic is surprisingly good at playing creepy people.
so when is grant coming
Dude, Katie is actually really good at acting, she does really do much roles that show of her skills over at ch, but this has me surprised
Like this is what would’ve happened if tinder was taken seriously
This is how I imagine life under anarcho-capitalism
This was really great. Katie is has a bunch of potential as an actor, all 3 of them do.
What an ending, that's actually a nice ironic twist tbh
I thought Trapp was gonna be the boyfriend. LOL
Katie and Raph!!! I'm glad you found something after CollegeHumor!
Why doesn’t this video have more views??!? This is fantastic
First minute in, I knew we were in for a weird bumpy ride.
This one shocked me a lot...I am shaking and transfixed. Scary/Thriller films with no happy ending are brilliant and I'm not really a horror film girl.
Am I the only one that noticed it looked like frozen boxed waffles? Fresh is so much better. They should have had a kitchen open 24/7 with a cook that would make waffles at any hour for Ms. Waffle Heiress for added creepy factor
Well that turned around completely.... LOL
Lauren Lapkiss would’ve nailed this role.
I'll never look at waffles the same again...

Came here for Katie. Stayed cos it was pretty good. ♡
The best friend you ALWAYS wanted 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The description is so well-written 😮
Fun fact: This is actually a story that occurred precisely like this in the life of Katie Marovitch. Her last name was changed to protect her identity, but she insisted on playing herself. Surprisingly, the high-security prison for the criminally insane allowed her to go on set under constant surveillance.
