It feels like wherever you go in 2026, Heated Rivalry is on the mind. From awards shows to fan spaces across social and even pitches we’ve gotten as editors, everyone is talking about the enemies to lovers story. At the heart of it all is Connor Storrie, who stole our hearts as Ilya Rozanov, the stoic yet funny hockey player who fell in love with fellow hockey player Shane Hollander.
If you’re like us, you’re looking for more of Storrie, whether it be in interviews or even his Quinn series with fellow actor Hudson Williams. To help with the need for more of Storrie before he returns as Ilya in Season 2, we’ve put together a list of short films you can watch on streaming, whether it be YouTube.
It’s important to note that Storrie has done more shorts, like Ménage à Trois and A Letter on Loss. But those aren’t available on streaming as of yet. But you know what’s available for streaming? A couple short films that Storrie directed themselves and some where he’s showing his strength when it comes to multiple languages.

There is also Alone posted on YT, from 2015 (so he is only 15 in this one), and Gary, which is like a group acting project where they tell about a real serial killer. Gacy is on Vimeo.
I heard there was another one too that was only on Daily Motion and/or Vimeo that was recently deleted, but unsure about the name of that one.
Thank you for letting me know! Will look them up to add to the list.
My favourite that he’s been in is twenty-two but I love his own short films the most because it lets me get a peek into what sort of artist he is 🙂 I especially can’t wait to see Transaction Planet because of this plus it being a more recent project so we can see how he’s continued to evolve as a director.
