She Stoops to Conquer is a 2015 Canadian short film directed by Zack Russell. It stars Kayla Lorette and Julian Richings, and had its world premiere at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.[2]

The film follows "a struggling talent-show performer who wanders into a nightclub disguised in a mask, and is inexplicably attracted to the real-life doppelgänger of her masked character."[2] Lorette wore a prosthetic mask of Richings' face for the film.[3]

The film has played numerous festivals worldwide, including the Vancouver International Film Festival,[4] the Raindance Film Festival,[5] and the New Orleans Film Festival.[6]

The film has garnered critical praise[7][8] and won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 4th Canadian Screen Awards.[9][10]
