Normally, Stephen Baskings would be elated by a visit from his doting daughters. Unfortunately, this weekend, they have brought along their significant others. To make matters worse, there are suspicious sounds emanating from their bedrooms. Cheryl, Stephen’s open-minded and considerate wife, attempts to take Stephen’s mind off the matter. But when the amorous sounds prove too much for him, Stephen launches out of bed on a mission to stop the madness once and for all. Cheryl, though, is not about to let Stephen embarrass the entire family, and so she embarks on a mission of her own, taking any means necessary to keep her crazed husband in check.

Director Statement

The premise for I’m No Stud came to me in a flash of panic as I contemplated the approaching birth of my daughter and her inevitable journey, or perhaps, demise into womanhood. Memories of my own childhood and teen years (wild parties, underage drinking, and STD scares) flooded my thoughts and my panic was quickly confirmed.

I stumbled out into the living room where my wife was relaxing with a good book and informed her that upon the first sign of puberty, our daughter would be off to a nunnery. Of course, my wife talked me down off the ledge, and I soon realized that I too would do what every sane parent does, commit to keeping his child safe, happy and healthy, while encouraging her to be her own person and live her own life. I’m No Stud is my preparation for the inevitable.
